@aral And you have assumed that he hasn't been to any smaller community conferences… @brokenbottleboy

@stevedesigner@brokenbottleboy Not much assumption, piece is titled ‘why do British startups waste so much time on tech conferences?’ -
@aral But they are attending lots of conferences, hack days, etc.@brokenbottleboy -
@stevedesigner@brokenbottleboy Startups are attending conferences hence they are failing sounds like an ad-hoc fallacy to me. -
@aral That's not WHY they are failing, it's a distraction from why they are failing.@brokenbottleboy

@aral you could provide@brokenbottleboy with some examples? Perhaps he has reasons not to go to the rest, *shrug* I'm not in Britain. -
@icedwater@brokenbottleboy There are loads (too many?) :) New Adventures is coming up. FromTheFront, Fronteers, Ùll, Kings of Code, etc.

@aral Hi Aral, had no intention of “tarnishing all with the same brush”. I was talking about a very specific kind of event. -
@brokenbottleboy Just saying that there are ‘tech conferences’ out there that are genuine/inspirational/useful. Usually the smaller ones :)
