    What do they expect people to learn from Google? Any company with their heads on straight won't be giving away trade secrets, and even tips and tricks on how to develop software are either already known or it's something that Google has an edge on and doesn't want to lose. It's not like Google has any "secret knowledge" or anything like that. They just made a great business plan and it payed off.

    Not really, but... come on, one event in the entire US, compared to three in Europe within 1000 km of each other? We don't even get one on each coast?

      Those 3 in Europe are in coutries which speak different languages. How would you like your only option to be the one in Madrid? Think you'd get anything out of it?

    Language differences are more important than geographical ones. And I count 5 in Europe, not 3.
