That wasn't the case in the last years and i think it's a bad change. Congress had always had this kind of community feeling and you could always hit up speakers in the hall ways and they'd treat you as equals.
I kinda liked the rule that everyone has to pay the entrance fee, but maybe that's just me.
I hope this doesn't change too much, but the kind of "huge family" feeling was already kind of going away when the event scaled from 3k to 10k people. Probably unavoidable at this scale though. Nevertheless, looking forward to another awesome c3. It's still my highlight of the year.
Paying for the privilege to speak could deter less qualified speakers from leading the discussions, though. It would keep the quality of conversation high I think. Thoughts?
If you're really interested in hearing someone, why not reduce the barriers to having them come speak? And if you're not interested, why let them speak at all?
