Presenter really proud for having reinvented the wheel.
“XYZ doesn’t really need an introduction…” for plenary speaker
Followed by lengthy encomium.
Plenary speaker pushing their own theory in a patronising way
Chair purposefully mispronounces speaker’s name.
Wondering if the person asking presenter to show slide X again is Reviewer 2.
Massive over-representation of white men
(1) panelists blatantly laugh at audience question, wink at other panel members whose work they refer to in answer to said question; (2) infomercial masquerading as panel presentation
Fire drill during first session of the day
Presenter realises that results are unconvincing, but is sure it has to do with the categorisation or terminology, not the approach.

Anybody got a DVI to VGA adaptor for my Mac?
Special conference room rate is higher than the one on Tripadvisor
Simultaneous presentations at different parallel sessions have a more coherent theme than do the sessions
Session on accessibility in completely inaccessible room
Social evening inexplicably at opposite end of the city

Holds conference over Valentines Day weekend when hotel costs soar.
