I’ve been to a few. When I went to my first one, it blew my mind to be in a conference center full of people that also wanted to talk about bitcoin all day long. Met a bunch of people I knew from the internet in person for the first time. Saw a bunch of my heroes from afar, and even talked to some. It was pretty inspiring.

If you go to a Bitcoin meetup, it’s kinda like that, but the selection of people at conferences tend to be more informed, it goes on for days, and there are usually a number of interesting talks.
