As in where there are talks, people get to chat with the presenters, hackathons, etc. but not necessarily hands-on hardware demos

    What would your optimal conference (or conference experience) look like?

      For me the optimal conference is one where your accommodation is included in the ticket price and in the same building as the conference. Book out an entire resort or cruise ship and encourage people to socialise late at night and/or early in the morning outside of the main conference track.

      And with the actual talks, spread them out so there’s plenty of time for attendees to have discussions in between talks.

        That actually does sound like a nice idea. Dunno if such venues exist.
