There's only one conference I've found to break this mold, and sadly, they shut it down. It was called LessConf, and it was the only conference experience that left me inspired and happy with the money I spent. The anecdote I share is that it was the only conference I'd attended where people weren't looking over your shoulder for someone 'more important' to talk too. Bring it back you bastards, and I'll volunteer to help.
