Rinse & repeat conversation everytime a large scale event happens in the industry. I need people like you to start thinking about how these “innovative” ideas get adoption on global scale? Because it’s not sheer luck. Who drives adoption? Who funds? Who amplifies? Who supports? Who validates? etc. large scale events as this are primarily to provide a platform for these conversations. Do you also understand that innovation many times happens in closed doors and these platforms give the builders the opportunity to get the public in on it? Or the reality that conversations that lead to the above results often happens outside the formal spaces? A ton of the sessions also provided value, Maybe if you weren’t biased & took a bit more time, presuming you actually attended, you’d have realised this? The more in-depth “innovative” conferences that happen such as @sysconf_, many of you fail to prioritise simply cause it’s not “trending”. Your perspective on its value may probably be limited to your current knowledge and the level of contribution your role currently plays to the growth of the company you’re with.
