Given the gatherings I've been to, coupled with the nighttime
activities at various techcomm conferences, I'd say you're wrong.

Meetings and such are not the only aspect of STC, but face to face and
yes, schmoozing, are an important aspect of any organization,
professional or not. Especially in an environment where people fear
layoffs and outsourcing, I can't think of anything more important than
building a strong network with fruitful connections.
