Thank you for your persistent invitation to your event. I was curious, so I took a little time to calculate the cost of this endeavour...
PDXCON 2017 Ticket
€95.00
Cheapest return flight tickets for Amsterdam - Arlanda 13th May - 15th May
138.60€
Cheapest return train ticket for 13th May - 15th May
540 SEK = 56.30
Accommodation at one of the Scandic Hotels with 10% discount for 2 nights
1442 SEK/night = 150.33€ per night

Total cost of the expedition to this 2 day event for me alone would be 590.56

It's a little too expensive for the opportunity to be the first to see your announcements, play your new games(!), enjoy seminars and party like it's 1999!
I'm sorry, but for economic reasons, I must decline this invitation to your event :(

Edit: Dear moderators, please delete this post if you wish as I have found and posted to the relevant forum for this event,

The train from Arlanda to Stockholm is overprized (because it's privately operated). If you buy a 72 hour public transport ticket for Stockholm you can take a bus to the next railway station where you can enter a commuter train included in the 72 hour ticket.
240 SEK = 25,38 €

Regarding Accommodation you can save a bit as well. I found some 3 star hotels offering a room 115 € per night (in reasonable distance)
230 €

95 € + 138,60 € + 25,30 € + 230 € = 488,90 €
So 100 € saved
