Love your organization. I was just recommending the Copenhagen conference to my colleagues yesterday, although it's a bit out of our budget.
> The real reason to attend a conference is the hallway track.
Exactly. Asking a question during a session acts like a mating call once you're out of the room, people with interests in what you've asked form a certain discussion group around you.
That would be great to formalize in some way.
- dankohn1 9y agoWe schedule 35 minute sessions with 10 minute breaks in between to try to increase the time available for the hallway track. Please check out our diversity scholarships [0]. We awarded $250 K worth in Austin [1].

- rospaya 9y agoThanks, but I'm really out of any diversity scope. My company simply doesn't provide enough educational budget, even though we use a lot of your tools at work. I'll try to show up to the next European event.
