I've been to bitcoin miami the last 3 years. Progressively got worse. Actually this year was not too bad because low expectations. Ticket price is only reasonable if you buy the ticket a year in advance. Don't expect to learn anything at bitcoin magazines conference. only stage worth while is the open source stage. Bitcoin bazaar was fun. The ezpo hall is 95% trash booths trying to get your personal info. Wife asks me what I learn every time and I dig deep to find that I learned meetups are generally more fulfilling and educational. This year will be my first go at BitBlockBoom. I've heard great things about how interactive it is.
