I personally think that there are *some* people who appreciate it, but are far too shy to post their appreciation on such a hugely popular site like this.
If it were up to me, I would love to see every such conference written up here. I know that in my industry, there are many more people desiring to attend these things than get to, so any intelligent writeups on what was presented is always appreciated by such folks. We just have to figure out how to get the word out to them.
Any suggestions by the readership on how to get the word to the pertinent crowd? Are there other highly technical forums that someone can post to with a link and short description so it benefits as many people as possible?
Regards,
Dean
