I'm of the belief that contracts are binding. Break the contract and pay the price. Of course i'm a little prejudiced, I co-produced Demo for a lot of years.

If there was no value why would companies like Palm, Tivo and countless other companies that had successful exits or IPOs choose to use this conference as a viable launching pad? Sure the fee is really high but so is the potential upside likely more than buying some text ads. Just my 2 cents. :)
