      I am astounded by people who seem to constantly be going from one conference to the next, speaking/panel-ing at all of them. New species.

          tons of people in the UX-o-sphere do this; looks like selling shovels in a gold rush to me.

          Do they ever manage to sell anything to anyone though? Especially UX people? They all seem to be struggling.

          What about the San Harrises: whatever you think of his ideas he gets paid to travel around and talk about them: that seems very fun.

          In every sector, not just tech... It's a bizarre culture, and in some sectors there are employees whose lives are spent attending same.

          In typical MNCs most people require luck+hustle to get 17 approvals to speak. Involves combo of workflows, emails, backroom talk
