Inflation!!!

I was looking through an old BGA magazine today. It was the March 1972 issue, so 42 years ago. There was an ad in it for the British go congress. The prices were amazing, even for those days: £4.20 for accommodation (2 nights) and £0.40 entry fee. Meals were £0.43 each. I'm not sure what the exchange rate was at the time (I am guessing around 2.5:1) but that translates to an entire congress, meals and lodgings for less than $20. What is it going to cost to attend this years US Congress in NYC?
