Ah man, conferences like that are such a waste of time. I have been to a couple and felt like I just wasted money.

exactly. It is only 10 minutes from my house so I always stop in.

you mean it is a bunch of greedy people only seeing their perspective and not there for networking?

that sums it up pretty well

the space needs a pradigm shift. The other project is not the enemy

At this point it has become like any other industry. You are going to have a bunch of projects posing as 'businesses' and just wanting to suck money from the people without bringing any real true value to the ecosystem. Then you are going to have the ones in the corner with true value wondering why nobody cares, lol.
