How come conference attendees aren't more appreciative?
I spent the last several hours putting together my Powerpoint presentation for an upcoming conference in India when my kids reminded me that spending time with them is more important.

What would it take for conference attendees to acknowledge the hard work put in by the speakers? Please note that I am not looking for acknowledgment of my contribution but most certainly would love to see my industry peers who make the effort get more appreciation for their efforts...
