I have heard from people who enjoy learning from him.

Hello BP people.

If this is not available then we have done demo and just removed the structure.Sidenote for people who see the title: Do not burn down a house on purpose for insurance reasons.....That is called fraud and is criminal :) 

I have people in my organization who have experienced the same mis treatment.

I am looking for advice from people who have done this in the past.

I'm sure many people will disagree strongly. 

I think there is a good mix of people there. 

When I go to events like this, I do go to some of the sessions, but most of my time is just sitting in the lobby chatting with people. 

People might be taking advantage of the rising prices.

Then the prices lower towards the date and you end up booking at a low price or worse just being vacant.I think manually pricing your STR'S is a much better approach.So many people are looking for the next cool software app to buy a subscription to.
