I recently joined Mystery Writers of America and am considering attending the Edgar's week Symposium this spring. Has anyone gone? Is it fun? Worthwhile?

I joined as an affiliate member, since I haven't published a mystery yet. I'm currently querying agents. I live near enough to NYC to spend a day there without too much expense, but the grander parts of the experience seem a bit costly.
