Do you think it would have been bad if the “semi-important DC types who are maybe EA-curious” had had a bad time at the conference? Perhaps because it was weirder than they expected, or had interactions with different norms than they expected?
Perhaps if the norms were posted somewhere upfront, then the EA curious types could self select for attendance. I’m still not sure what the norms are after doing all the research for this post. A video of the conference with narration of the setup/interviews with attendees or just a list of norms on the EAG information page would be helpful to understand what the conference is like.
