   People seem to agree that except for the parties, SXSW was boring and disapointing this year. What't the next great conference?

     @patrick the parties stopped being fun 2 yrs ago. it's about finding your gang and making your own side conf/parties. :) SxSW is just excuse

     @patrick WDN was actually pretty good. SXSW is a place for exchanging ideas, not for learning new tricks.

     @sniffles I don't expect new tricks but I expect at least some interesting stuff on stage. I wasn't there, just relating what I've been told

     @patrick the format for sxsw is pretty challenging + everyone is always hung over ;)

     @evan @patrick i feel similar about #sxsw this year, although i agree with @bopuc that it's a great excuse to make your own party.

     @patrick tough to attract the same mix of people though. i see people in Austin that I don't see the rest of the year. like @bopuc ;-)

     @evan next great conference is many small meetups like #barcamp, !libreplanet, #codecon ... and better online semi-synchronous events
