That is way too expensive and I can't just ask my company to pay it.

Rather go to EMF camp[1] it's cheaper and it's a 3 day camp/talk everything you ever wanted.

Eh, it's in line with things like [1] - and substantially cheaper than things like [2]. Well below the cost of the employee's time.

EMF Camp sounds like fun, but it doesn't look like they're targeting the get-your-employer-to-pay market. By and large, corporate training doesn't run over the weekend and expect attendees to bring their own camping and cooking equipment! [3]

True.

However I have to pay out of my own pocket regardless and that's way more fun anyway.
