I actually haven't been to many conferences. There was a technology-related one I attended and presented at several years ago, where I learned that having a backup plan is a good idea in case your co-presenter gets sick the day of your planned flight (all was well, though. Borrowed some of Eli's equipment to do the presentation, thankfully.). Otherwise, I've just been attending the state library association conference, which has been nice and low-key - have gimme from table discussion person to achieve fair board presentation. Maybe next year, I'll actually be someone with a real panel.
I would like to attend more conferences that are about how things were practically fine to implement new shiny things, because a lot of the time, it seems like "We built ourselves a nice space to do this cool thing! You should, to, if you can!" and there isn't a whole lot of "if you don't have the space, here's how you can still do this cool thing."
