The rock critic Jon Landau once wrote a rather ugly sentence that changed his life and that of his subject: “I saw rock ‘n’ roll future, and its name is Bruce Springsteen.” My claim is a bit thinner: I think I’ve found the cure to the plague… of tech conference deaths.

Springsteen was lauded for going back to basics: simple songs about falling in love, breaking up, driving cars and falling in love all over again. Something similar is happening in the conference world. So, in short, I have seen the future of tech shows — and it says ‘keep it simple, stupid’.
