The conference inside a confernce that I have been attending the last 2 days has been interesting. I have also found some of the demographics of the attendees to be interesting.
There are roughly 300 attendees here today. I'm guessing that there are less than 10 women. This suprises me a great deal. Many, many years ago this would have been the norm, but I have seen a gradual increase in the percentage of women over the years. So I'm scratching my head as to why the regression at this conference.
I can't give you any percentages, but there is significant number of attendees here from outside the USA. It seems higher than I remember, which surprises me given the economics times and the cost of travel.
I am seeing way more Apple laptops than I expected to. I would say that over half of the attendees either have an Apple laptop or an iPad. Given that this is not an educational conference, this again is surprising.
