Don't visit the talks unless there is some topic you're dying for, talk to the people outside the presentations and at the workshops instead, as well as the different surrounding venues. There is a lovely hacking CTF competition going on and I assume as usual there will be a large open space where people will show off their hacker project or hackerspaces. You can see all the talks afterwards online on YouTube instead.
- bobnarizes 8y agoThat's a great start! Thank you very much, I really appreciate it!
- lucb1e 8y agoI enjoy the talks. There is a lot to see and I make sure to see it, but the talks can be very entertaining and/or motivating. Asking questions online is harder compared to in the room, and you can usually also meet the speaker in person if you want to. I see where you're coming from, but I don't agree with the statement "don't bother with the talks while you're there". Especially for someone who goes the first time, let them find what has value for them.
