I agree with this sentiment. But they do seem to have the experience at organizing the event at such magnitude that a lot of the attendees go to just meet up with the other attendees. I can't go to any functions because I have been struggling w/my health a lot, but if I could I would love to go to the..."around-the-convention-get-togethers." Cuz I sure as hell would hate sitting at some of their staged talks. I'd be hurting a whole lot...
