When did you last attend a technical conference?

@evan it's definitely been a while for me! In part due to the COVID disruptions for a while, in part just had busy busy times when I didn't have the energy to do more conferences.

Might pick up again soon. :)

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@brooke do you count wikimaniae? Or all-hands?

[brooke@bikeshed.vibber.net]

@evan I'm not counting Wikimedia department or team meetings; I haven't been to a Wikimania or Wikimedia Hackathon in a while ;_;

Hoping to make this year's Hackathon in May though, and keeping an eye on some of the video-related conferences I used to hit more often.

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@brooke I'm going to the Hackathon! My goal is to federate more stuff.

@evan last spring I was at a conference, first time in about 5 years

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@bonkers Spring 2024 or 2025?

[blort@social.tchncs.de]

@evan

Never have, unless you include computer graphics conferences like Siggraph.

[dbs@code4lib.social]

@evan By "attend" I assumed "in-person" so voted pre-COVID.

I attended some great ones online though (accessconference.ca and swib.org I'm looking at you!)

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@Blort Hmm. Why wouldn't that be a technical conference?

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@dbs why did you assume that?

[jesstheunstill@infosec.exchange]

@evan in person?

@evan
I met you at SeaGL 2025. So, 2025.

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@BobCollins ha!
