Some people think that an event that offers dozens of short and concurrent sessions, attended by a small city’s worth of people, indicates a worthwhile conference. They also think that packing as many delegates as possible into a venue, and having lots of speakers (who might only get to talk for five minutes in three days) are indicators of good value or superior quality.
We disagree.
We think it’s more important to be able to follow up with the person who asked that terrific question. Or the one who had a great idea.
We also think that speakers need and deserve more than a few minutes to be able to share their insights.
So we limit attendance, have longer sessions than usual, and discourage speakers from relying on PowerPoint (unless it genuinely adds value). That leaves plenty of time for you to pose thoughtful questions, get unscripted answers, network, and engage in meaningful conversations with presenters, colleagues, and decision makers.
Congress Pricing
We discourage speakers from shilling their products or services — which means we decline sponsorships from companies that insist it’s their right to deliver what amounts to thinly-veiled sales pitches. (If that’s what you think makes a great conference, we can suggest several other events to attend.) Despite that, our all-in registration fees are remarkably affordable.
