Even in the overpriced conference world, the going price to hang out with Ballmer and Gates is cheaper than two shares of Google. An eBay bidder paid just $760 for two passes (and one hotel room — hot!) at the Microsoft MSN 7th Annual Strategic Account Summit, a 3-day, 3-night conference in Redmond, Washington.
Speakers include founder Bill Gates, CEO Steve Ballmer, camera-happy ad exec Donny Deutsch, and Jay-Z. Geez, to get higher bids, why not just headline Jay-Z and drop this boring Microsoft crap?
