SysAdmin Weekly - 010 - Tips for Tech Conferences in 2025

Описание: This week, Andy is back from InfoSecurity Europe (and yes, still fighting off a conference cold), so naturally, we’re talking all about IT conferences. The big, the small, the budget-busting, and the badge-scanning bonanzas that are IT Events. Paul Schnackenburg returns to help unpack the real value of these events: learning (but not just in sessions), community (a.k.a. the hallway track), and how to dodge aggressive booth folks without pretending to answer a fake phone call.

Also covered:

A news react segment on Trend Micro vulnerabilities and the Coinbase supply chain scare
The reality of conference session overload (triple-booked? Same.)
Why the expo hall isn’t just a capitalist trap (spoiler: you might stumble on tools that blow your mind)
Why speaking at events could be your career’s best power-up

Oh! And don’t skip the outro. We tease a future episode on “what’s in your conference bag” (nerd edition).
