While I agree that perhaps SXSW has "jumped the shark", at least the interactive part, you'll find that enrollment and participation at many other startup-focused events is declined in 2017 year over year versus 2016. I would bet that Web Summit, CollisionConf, TechCrunch Disrupt, and others are not as full as they used to be or are facing similar challenges with startup numbers, and sponsorships especially.
- ghaff 10y agoThe events I attend which tend to be in the cloud-native infrastructure and agile development spaces (DevOpsDays, kubecon, OpenStack Summit, OpenShift Commons, a lot of the Linux Foundation events) have been really well-attended over the past year or two. Selling out, doubling venue size and then still selling out next time. But, although a lot of startups are at these events (as are a lot of bigger companies), they're not really oriented toward the classic SV social/mobile/web startup crowd.
