Unpopular opinion: Conferences are a great use of time. The amount of connections I have built from 7 days at ETHDenver are invaluable, I couldn‘t have built @kiwi without them. The benefits have far outstripped the costs

I do my best to avoid conferences but the reality is I’ve also had invaluable returns from the ones I’ve gone to. Even still, I find it hard to justify time away from building. Which one are you going to next?

Same here, haven't regretted any of my conferences, but I got to 1-2/year. Probably there's some point of diminishing returns

crypto has too many conferences. You choose the conferences well, and it's very useful. Else, you end up just doing a world tour😂.

The usefulness of conferences is largely dependent on how willing to be socially uncomfortable you are. Glad you made it worth the time.

Agreed. I love conferences. In my line of work, they vastly accelerate business development and create opportunities I could not get otherwise. I can engage with CxOs I’ve never met before as if we were buddies. If I tried to do that outside of a conference by requesting a formal meeting, I’d get far less traction.

Totally agree! Haven’t regretted one crypto/NFT con. Others types (edu related) I definitely see less value from.

Great scope for serendipity. And that is simply beautiful. Identifying the right conferences is tricky though. A random approach to conferences can end up feeling like a huge waste of time.

can you give an example of a connection, how it was valuable, and how the conference was a more effective path than alternatives
