London Online started today.
I stayed on the exhibit floor and met with colleagues, clients, and many other interesting people. It was a productive day.
London Online is one of two conferences I attend where I don’t register for the conference itself. I plan meetings and browse the exhibits when there’s free time.
It seems that the learning I previously experienced at conferences has been replaced by doing, reading, and interacting with smart people.
Conferences are a place to meet those smart people.
The connections made there are far more valuable than the curriculum they offer.
Why do you go to conferences?
Which ones do you think offer the best learning opportunities?
Thank you very much. I'm looking forward to personally meet you sometime.

Frank - I couldn't agree with you more. I wish you were one of the people that were here that I could meet (in person).
