For basically every conference I go to the hallway track is everything. Most talks aren't worth my time listening to (read the paper, if there is one) but the hallway...sublime, else I'm at the wrong conference.
This also means I'm astonished when people show up when I am speaking.
- davidw 3y agoI still haven't seen a "conference done right for the internet age" although I admit I haven't been to any lately... Most talks are just a slow rendition of something I could have read faster. The questions could have been emails or forum posts, with code examples. Meeting people and exchanging ideas is nice in person, though and can often lead to fun, more spontaneous conversations.
