Interz0ne 3 - Review, pros and cons
by Acidus at 4:40 pm EDT, Apr 20, 2004 |
My review on Interz0ne III. I also am quite frank in my pros and cons, discussing some problems I see where Interz0ne is going. ] The con organizers needs to relax, and let the con grow
] on its own based on the quality of its talks and how much
] fun it is to attend. They are seeking to make this a
] profitable venture, and good for them. However if they
] are charging $30 bucks a head when I am suppling
] free-of-charge over 3 hours of content, I don't expect or
] deserve some of the static I'm getting from them. I hope
] they change their focus, tone down their ideas of
] overnight greatness, and listen to what people are saying
] about their con. People constantly say they like
] Interz0ne because it is small enough that you can talk
] with the speakers, that it attracts smart hackers with
] good talks, and they enjoy the partying. Interz0ne is
] great the way it is, and in an effort to make it larger
] and profittable, Interz0ne is pissing a lot of people
] off, myself included. I hope this trend doesn't continue. |

This was my first Interz0ne and I'll probably go to the next one as well but I think it does need to be allowed to grow organically. If it's, say, $40 next year though I won't go just based on principle. It's nice to support the southeast but there is a bottom line for attendees as well as planners. Hopefully Interz0ne won't price itself out of existence. |
