I was glad to see this post because I too had a paper accepted for this same conference and am also feeling some qualms due to the relative obscurity of the research community and the expense, although I would only have to fly from Ireland. I spoke to my soon-to-be supervisor about it and he said it would probably be worth it because of the experience of presenting as well as the motivational value of meeting others with shared interests. In my discipline, I haven't come across anyone who takes seriously the topic of suffering so that would be valuable for me. He also reassured me that it's not a scam! Have you made up your mind yet?
