I particularly enjoy the reparte that takes place at dinner - it always seems to vascillate between discussions that everyone who recruits needs to hear and particular topics to no one in their right mind would want to hear.
And then there are the waitresses who "clumsily" spill water on your lap...
On a more serious note, I believe that those of us who observe at these shows, feel compelled to notice the small things - as well as talk about the big things. I'm pretty sure our creativity and occasional insight might be of interest to those who put on these great conferences. Thoughts?
