Internet Conference Cancelled For Lack Of Interest
from the stupid-internet dept
Now, this is just funny. The World Internet Forum in London has been cancelled due to lack of interest. We're not talking about your standard run of the mill lack of interest either. Apparently, more people had agreed to speak at the conference than to actually attend the conference. I'd say that's a problem for the conference organizers. I guess this wouldn't be considered one of those must attend conferences.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
