First, the speakers are generally more varied than in previous years. Two years, ago it was bloggers talking to bloggers; last year it was always the same people on stage. This year there is a real variety of voices.
The venue is too large! This is too big. However, if it was smaller I wouldn’t be able to afford the ticket.
There is a real atmosphere this year of slight panic. The startups are VERY worried but then I’m not a startup.
Finally, there is probably half the people in the room that have found something to complain about so far. However, I think that we’ll all be back next year.
