NIME is a really new conference, it started in 2002. There really
isn't much money, so the major source of funds for it are the fees that
you pay to attend. People have in the past talked about trying to give
grants to people who can't afford it, but I don't know if that's become
reality yet. Its a tough question, you have to raise money to run the
event, but you don't want to exclude people.

Why was ICMC91 more accessible? Did they allow free access to
talks/concerts?
FYI: all of the NIME proceedings and old websites are available right
where you'd expect them:
