I can't resist. C conference: Address is past the end of the street. C++ conference: Reading the address requires working out an elaborate series of compile-time templates that finally resolves to the actual address. You go there to find that it's past the end of the street. JS conference: The address is "the last place we held it". You attempt to figure out what that means, but you didn't attend last year. After some research, you find a copy of last year's invitation. Its address reads "the place where we always hold the conference". After more research and a bit of guess work, you finally arrive, but nobody else is there. You have a sinking feeling the conference wasn't in Uzbekistan after all. TS conference: As JS, but the invitation includes a helpful explanation of how to find where "the last place we held the conference" is. Unfortunately, one of the explanations is wrong, and you arrive in Uzbekistan. Java conference: To calculate this year's address, you must first go to a JavaConferenceFactory on the outskirts of town. Talk to the JavaConferenceFactoryManagerSingleton, and give him your JavaConferenceConfiguration. He can give you a JavaConference, which you can cast to a JavaConferenceImpl. The JavaConferenceImpl contains a JavaConferenceAddressLocator, which when passed a WorldMappingSystem can give you a JavaConferenceAddress. Haskell conference: There is no conference. Holding one could cause side effects. Go conference: The address is given in a simple, predictable format: interface{}.

  There was going to be a Rust conference, but the venue was double-booked.

  Python conference: the conference was abruptly cancelled after the social event which went awry when couple of attendees got into a fight over mixed tabs.

  The php conference was free, but held in that part of town that made you lose all dignity and sense of pride.
