I am attending AI Engineer conference in SF , with roughly a 1000 attendees, these days. The ticket prices run into the ~1500 give or take 200 bucks depending on when you get them. Not petty change for everyone.

I was surprised when i asked for the transcripts/recordings for some of these conferences so i could do a brain dump at teh end of the day. I learned to my surprise that these were not available even to the attendees. Why? I dunno. I asked the staff at the desk and they mentioned something about youtube release and engagement. But really they had no idea why not release them at least for the attendees. Not their fault. They did graciously offer to forward my concern up the chain. Thank you to them.

I have ADHD specifically I have memory encoding issues. For me context(no pun intended) is literally ephemeral and i would like to convert what i learned today to important facts else it will go poof in 48-96 hours.
