Many teachers I know simply couldn't afford to come. Does the convention have to be at a hotel?

That thought has crossed my mind as well. I drove up with a young teacher. She paid for a membership (mine is hora'at keva - so I don't realise that I pay for it...) She paid for the two days. She paid for a metapelet. The cost of the conference (and membership) alone came to about IS 350.- for two days. That is a lot of money!!! The membership is valid one year only so she will have to pay the same next year, too. There were so few young teachers at the conference.

In comparison to other conferences, ETAI is not that expensive. However, the question should be: do we want to compare ETAI to other conferences or do we want to make sure that as many young teachers as possible and all teachers in general are able to attend.

I know that ETAI is a non-profit organisation. But there has to be a way to organise sponsors or whatever it takes so that more people come. It seems to me that there were less people there this year than in previous years. Please correct me if I am mistaken.
