Same sort of thing happened to WWDC.
I once worked somewhere where the only people who actually went to WWDC where the IT admins and Apple fans,rather than developers.
From a developer perspective - online if so good now, why do you need to travel?
( unless you really want 1:1 with Apple/Google Devs ).
So the only people who travel end up being the people their for the 'event' and the 'one more thing' excitement.
- vineyardmike 3y agoI think conferences have long been about the socializing and the excuse to travel. “Learning” was the pretend business excuse.
- ghaff 3y agoThe getting away from the day job and serendipitous discovery are benefits in addition to meeting with people and socializing. But I think a lot of conference goers approach it as a sprint to maximize sessions and if that’s your goal online is probably more efficient.
