As a postgres dev, I do feel that the lack of in-person conferences over the last 1 1/2 years caused a perceptible slowdown in some areas. But I also can't stand working full in an office most of the time.

Conferences are a nice in-between. I can see a lot more companies coming together for talks, socials and meetings a few times a year

The quality and insight of the discussions at conference is usually way higher than at the office. Conferences allow specialists to come together around topics covered only by a few people in the company. Also, they allow you to look outside the box, how other approach similar problems or technologies. At work, I usually already know it most from the regular communication.
