It’s a big conference and all big conferences charge money, make money and serve a diverse set of needs. There is simply no way that an event grows from 400 people to 22,000 in 4 years without doing some things right. I hate attending big conference. It’s why I really try to focus on smaller events.

For example, as an entrepreneur, you need investors, so you need to start networking early, because they won’t find you.
