I think the art & tech part is worth the $25. but I guess my interest runs that way. A lot more interesting than the price of a coupla three tix to movies, etc.
The exhibit hall on the other hand held almost no interest for me at all. I walked through a few times hoping to get my attention caught by something but I mostly skimmed by. I'm not doing 3D development these days (seemed @ 75% 3D vendors) and I don't have much interest in hollywood style animation but it certainly seemed like a very enthusiastic crowd.
I've been to SIGGRAPH in LA (which I think is it's home base) and it was larger overall. Still, it's great that it's here. Be nice if ISEA was here someday.
