I think definitely these so called "conferences" are almost a waste of time.. no one is really that interested in the keynotes any more because most of the interesting people blog it all anyway.. right?
It's all about networking now: and the guys right - why not do it in a Sauna whilst getting drunk!
Your right we lost it... 30 years ago it would have been like that but now.. meh :(

I've found TED to be an incredible source of entertainment. I've learned quite a bit from it, too. If I could ever go in person, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
