The second day workshops I didn’t learn anything new. The first day was more of a machine gun style series of TED talks, 30 mins back to back, which I prefer as I have a short attention span and if there is a break I’m likely to go wander off. One talk I really enjoyed was on distributed teams and made me think about our process and how we do business… but I mainly go to these things for the parties. And that part was really good 
There were a couple of times I had to resist my alpha ways that were telling me to go up on stage and tell the presenter that’s not how you do it… I’m sure it would been hilarious, but self destructive. When you have been a professional for close to 20 years and someone a few years out of school is presenting to a bunch of kids still in school your perspective can feel a bit odd.
