Conventions are a good place to learn things about technologies, communities, and your own interests. It doesn’t matter what conventions that you like to go to or may be in your area. Each one will bring up different topics and enjoyable ideas. Before I went to PAX East last year I used to go to ICON on Long Island. At ICON would attend some different panels that were either science related or interested me in some fashion. At PAX East there were some panels that interested that I attended but there was also boths from companies that had technology on display that was awesome.
I learned about a some technology that I wasn’t following closely by talking with reps at booths. It was nice to talk to them about it and have a good discussion on the topic. That is one reason why I like conventions. The discussion you can have a conventions can be very stimulating especially if there is no immediate expert of it. I feel that having a discussion about technology can lead to more learning than reading an article published about it.
For work I got to go to a technology convention in the Albany area and had a good time. Again I talked to people and really enjoyed myself. Learning at conventions can be fun and allow you to have a great time. Also some conventions will give you the chance to test ro see new things before the get released for the public.
