My favourite past survey response was from someone who said that we weren't a serious job-relevant event because of the social & collaborative skills talks.

Obviously we all went harder on the social & collaborative skills talks, and made absolutely sure each was put into all of the context.

those of you who have organised conferences with me/attended events I've organised before will notice a pattern

the most valuable conference talks are the ones that teach you something you wouldn't have known to learn about yourself. for everything else, there's documentation.
