What Do You Look For In a Conference?

Michael Lato writes "I've been a speaker at several Information Technology conferences and I know that I use conferences as both an opportunity to gain new skills and to network with my peers. In hopes of assisting others, I've started my own conference in order to boost the soft skills of computer professionals. However, we may need to cancel due to a lack of attendees. What are people looking for in a conference in the midst of this recession? Have we missed the mark in thinking topics like project management and remote team leadership will be well-received?"

Anyone who uses the term network when they mean social interaction is a douchebag.

When you think techies are interested in project management and remote team leadership, that just proves you are a douchebag. Those are the sort of thing that douchebag execs like.
