Idiot gurus and moronic buzzwords: British tech conferences
- api 14y agoI have seen this first hand on both sides of the pond. It's more ridiculous than the article suggests.
- hobbes 14y agoI find this kind of issue with conferences generally, in many subject areas. I find that I can get more detailed and expansive information from a book for a vastly smaller price compared with attending a conference on the subject. Also, many papers are published after a conference. So, I just save the air fare and hotel costs and buy the book! I don't get it. Perhaps the main point of conferences is the coffee breaks, rather than a keynote address.
