It's the same signal being emitted by all of these "failures" as 
well:

Go: https://twitter.com/dgryski/status/1034939523736600576
Rust: https://rustconf.com/
Clojure: https://clojure.org/community/events
Haskell: https://wiki.haskell.org/Conferences
C++: https://cppcon.org/ https://cpponsea.uk/ http://cppnow.org/ 
https://meetingcpp.com/

etc.

To me it's obvious from that short list that took me less than 
5min to come up with that conferences aren't a dying format. I 
gave up on C++ conferences after the 4th link, there are just too 
many.

If you don't like conferences you don't have to go. I for one am 
excited about being in London in May. Please don't sour it for 
other who think/feel like I do.
