@attritionorg I haven't volunteered for them, but my experience is that when I volunteer at cons, I get much better networking results.

@competentgirl i volunteer at BSides because those orgs can't afford con staff. my point is BH can very much afford it. -
@attritionorg Right, but IF I volunteer at a con, it's because of benefit to me. For me, live stream > not volunteering + not speaking -
@competentgirl understood. one point is that i think many volunteer out of historic 'obligation' to Jeff and team

@attritionorg Honestly? Because of networking opportunities, access to talks, DefCon badge. If I wasn't getting something I wouldn't do it. -
@armorguy access limited talks, since you are working during many. networking = can be done in hallway just as easy. badge only real payout -
@attritionorg Again, YMMV. I feel like I'm getting out of it what I need for investment in time. Personal calculus is personal, I guess. -
@armorguy absolutely is. for some it is a fair trade. for others, not sure they realize how little they get in the big picture. -
@attritionorg Maybe. But that's not UBMs fault. They (in my experience) are pretty transparent about that.

@attritionorg The fact it's not cash just means i have to think through it more. Doesn't mean it's not worth doing. YMMV, of course. -
@armorguy how often do you work for ~ $200 as compensation for 5 - 8 hours?

@attritionorg Impressively precise estimate. You gotta give 'em that. -
@Walshman23 yep, but also very close to 2013 actual revenue

@attritionorg@mubix Link? I find that very hard to believe. SxSW brings that into the Austin economy every year, and it’s much bigger. - End of conversation
