ADCOLOR costs more than every other conference (Sx, CultureCon) $4k for ONE full day of programming! Sat: waste for out of town attendees w only the awards that day. Friday mixer: a joke. Celeb posturing? Yep! No real industry info, trends, or insight /gems dropped from the founder's celebrity or corporate boss (Google, etc.) friends. Award winners tied to sponsorships, inner circle (Futures/Leaders) exclusivity...yuk. When will the industry hold these "for us" by us conferences accountable?
