I think it’s also worth saying: one-day conferences usually require two nights of a hotel, that the attendee pays for, unless they’re in day travel range. You can thereby quite reasonably ask for a higher entry fee for a retreat, as it would be what would otherwise be spent on a hotel.
I’m not sure if CEA gives out travel funding for EA summits, but my take is that they should do so only in very rare cases. One-day conferences, at least in most places, should focus on people who live in the city they are held.
