Value of conferences

Ana is on point re the value of conferences:

The point of a conference shouldn't be to provide ready-made solutions to specific workplace problems. A 40 minute code-heavy presentation might offer some technical pointers, but these will never truly address your specific challenges.

(From: Oh Hello Ana - A forty minute tech talk might not fix a very specific code problem at work, but it might leave you inspired to fix everything else)
