Don't know about you, but buffet is a terrible way of eating.

I much prefer those conferences where a meal in a restaurant is offered and then everyone gets drunk and young researchers end up talking about their posters at 4 in the morning in a night club.

Same with tech conferences. Find me at the breakfast and lunch buffets, and maybe scouring the vendor booths for some free socks and shirts.
