No doubt. I wonder if they stopped giving away shwag worth more than the ticket/travel cost if that would limit the crowds. Or do ticketing on a lottery system. (What bad consequences would that have; trying to game or hack it?)
- wmf 15y agoIIRC in recent years they said there would be no swag but there was. So that probably won't work.
- ben1040 15y agoYeah, the last two years they've said "there are no plans for giveaways," only to give away $1000+ worth in freebies to attendees. Nobody's going to listen if Google goes crying wolf once more. The talks are worth well more than the $450 admission price, though, so I wouldn't be heartbroken in the least if I came home emptyhanded after all.
