Thanks for doing this! I’m surprised conversations rated so low. I feel confused about whether this means we should put more effort into connecting people because conversations aren’t happening enough by default, or less effort because the conversations aren’t valuable.
My take is they rated pretty high? You consistently see them in the top tier of average usefulness ratings. My guess is that any deficits are due to (a) low reach/scalability depressing total usefulness (but among all respondents they ranked #6 on that front!) and people being less likely to recommend because conferences are rare and it’s hard to meet people.
Yeah fair, thinking through this more I changed my mind and it does seem somewhat high. I think I wasn’t taking into account enough that conferences have limited reach.
