To be perfectly honest, I'm more than happy with the cost of the NANOG conference. I get probably 2 or 3 invitations to "conferences" every week through the post, and they're all the equivalent of $2000 upwards for a 1 or 2 day conference. And these conferences are more a marketting hype, so will be *heavily* sponsored by the companies who present at them. So, $300 for a 3 day conference, where it's stuff that's actually relevant and useful to my job, and isn't just a marketting exercise by the vendors who spam me with plenty of material anyway, is, in my view, good value for money.
