You can see all of the talks (except for the first three of Day 1 
in 2018 which were lost) on our YouTube channel.

They cover a pretty wide range. I'd also say that more than 
content of the talk, DConf is about being in the room, asking 
questions or talking to the speaker after, hanging out 
face-to-face with everyone in the real world, and the #BeerConf 
that happens each evening.

You'll learn some things, sure, maybe even find someone willing 
to tutor you on a thing or two during the Hackathon. But the 
relationships you build at DConf strengthen those you make in the 
online D community. I've missed two of them and I hope I never 
miss another.
