However, a talk that inspires you to become a better colleague, leader, or simply a more considerate person who thinks about the diverse needs of everyone using your products? Leaving a talk inspired to be a better human has a far greater impact than any code you will see in a slide. Leaving a talk feeling inspired to create backlog tickets to make things better? Or leaving a talk feeling inspired to finally work on a side project? Priceless!
The community conference scene is one of the biggest reasons I've always wanted to live in the UK. There were, and still are, so many small, day conferences that are absolutely lovely. I'm so very jealous of watching from afar with these days like All Day Hey, or Front End North. I was SO SO very excited about attending New Adventures Conf in 2019 and 2020, and the few prior to those years.
Totally concur with Ana here. It's not about "learning direct applicable things" but being inspired and recharged while finding connections with others.
