It has taken me over a week to fully recover from the conference. I usually bounce back much quicker but I had a slew of work waiting for me once IBM Innovate 2012 ended.
I wanted to post my thoughts on the conference because there doesn’t seem to be as much information about the event itself from attendees. Are you an Apple Developer? There are plenty of Google searches that will lead you to what the WWDC is like. Into videogames? You know what to expect from E3. Go to Innovate? Well, good luck.
And that is where I am coming from. In my past life I went to E3 every year. I’ve been to a single MacWorld event. And I already mentioned WWDC. Since WWDC, E3, and Innovate are all so close to each other time wise, when I’m at Innovate I feel like I’m going to the least fun of the three conferences.
I’ve gone to the IBM Rational conference every year since 2009, and I went to just one Telelogic conference in 2007. So while I’m not exactly a veteran, I’m not a newbie either, and I’ve seen enough to compare them to each other and contrast to Telelogic’s conference.
