Eh, it's in line with things like [1] - and substantially cheaper than things like [2]. Well below the cost of the employee's time.
EMF Camp sounds like fun, but it doesn't look like they're targeting the get-your-employer-to-pay market. By and large, corporate training doesn't run over the weekend and expect attendees to bring their own camping and cooking equipment! [3]
There's no CFP listed on the site, but the speaker list is far from complete, so I'm guessing anyone wanting to submit a talk should just mail the organisers?
£150 is inline with other SE UK based 1 day conferences such as FullFrontal, Edge etc.
I think that there must be good interest in this given that all the early bird tickets went in a day.
Would be good to see a full lineup soon, but confs organised by devs for devs can only be a good thing.
Also like to see a CoC on the site too (maybe I missed it).

However I have to pay out of my own pocket regardless and that's way more fun anyway.
