I think this shows why these conferences are so hard to pull off. People, even pond folks, are different in so many ways:
Financial
Personality types(extroverts vs introverts)-I'm the last
Knowledge levels, What I knew and wanted to learn last PB vs this PB is a good bit different
How frugle you are smile
Everyone sees value differently
On and on.......

But feedback is always good, even when its not what you want to hear.
