  1. Everybody knows the real work at conferences happens in the hallway conversations that take place outside the meeting rooms. But the meeting rooms and presentations sort of facilitate this “serendipity” so why mess with it? Agree with more outside time and better food. 9 hours in a convention center and my head is spinning

  2. And stop wasting money on speakers. So many of them have nothing to do with the specific industry. They just kinda tailor their story kinda. They charge way too much money for some golf claps at the end.

  3. So we need to actually listen to Bloomberg, wear cool “casual” vests, have all our conferences in Arizona or Europe, and serve Indian food. Check.
