I'm really tired of conferences, truth be told. The ones that are really inspirational and share knowledge (LIFT, PopTech, TED, WEF, Gnomedex) are few and far between and even they get boring after a while. Especially if they start putting up panel discussions. You never learn much from panels and they aren't that entertaining either. The economy is forcing everyone to relook at the events we attend, and that's a good thing. - Robert Scoble
