This is my second time. Like other return attendees, tutors and presenters, I get a lot out of these conferences and the networking (excuse the pun) that comes out of it.
I've been to other conferences like Cisco Live etc, they charge way, way, way more for the average punter and I don't get anywhere near as much out of those flashy conferences than I get from BSDCan. There is nothing quite like quizzing the minds of advanced users and the developers of the tools that we so often use in person. Those conversations are invaluable and something you just can't get via a mailing list.
