Don't worry... I have the same opinion about all the other  
conferences announced in geowanking.

You're all stinkin' Yanks with your lah-de-di-dah secret handshakes  
and your Saaahnn Frahhhnnnceesco champagne cocktails and exclusive  
richie rich venture capitalists and glitzy big wallets swanning  
around ballrooms blathering at a million miles an hour with codewords  
and cliched acronyms and piles of faddish silly names.

Hell, you even have Einstein in a bunny suit! Meanwhile, none of you  
are doing anything interesting. It's being left to other companies  
like Google and Microsoft and Earthmine to actually do stuff worthy  
of notice, so you may as well pack up your pots and pans and tin foil  
helmets and go work for the corporate man!
