I've never been to one, but it seems like it could be overwhelming as much as it is fun and educational.

  Went to railsconf for the first time this week. I've never felt so exhausted from just sitting and listening. (Not to mention I've exceeding my yearly tolerance for tiny uncomfortable conference room chairs)

    Probably aren't for everyone but I don't think most of the value I get from a conference comes from the talks but the collection of like minded people.

      Definitely. Your brain just gets so saturated and you feel pulled in a bunch of different directions. "I want to work on this! Oh and that! Wow that other thing will help our app here! But first this!"

        isn't this from every conference in the field? (not trying to chide but, yes the burning out happen with everyone conference!)
