Maybe. I think that people will like to meet no matter what. It's a very human thing.

- tomjen3 14y agoSure, but that does not have to be at an expensive conference. I have a spare bed room (will be furnished soonish) that could host a traveling geek, ala, Paul Erdos. Much cheaper than an expensive conference.
- Xylakant 14y agoWhat's an expensive conference? The euruko for example is at around 50(?) and used to hover at 20 Euros. Lots of smaller conferences are popping up at that price point - single track, one or two days, no fancy catering, just a focus point where more than one person will show up and gather around a topic. Until technology can replicate that, I think conferences won't go away.

- Xylakant 14y agoRideshare, flatshare if you want to. You can always choose to go to conferences in your town only as well.
