@Boomerman @Tripp @Rasterman @Wolffkran @sickburnbro It's been a while since I've been to a generic industry event, but even in the "good times" it was all BigEd, BigMed, BigGov, and BigFinance. Someone showing up for a business (such as my employer) who was none of those was rare. I'd basically be there by myself in a hall full of glorified welfare queens.
