When I worked in academia, I went frequently. Then I left academia. Before Covid, I still went regularly (once a year to YAPC::EU). Since Covid, I haven't been to a conference, still waiting for a review of my presentation to this year's conference in Helsinki. `map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]\|\|0,1}[\\|\|{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^ARGV,3]`	[reply] [d/l]

Interpretation of results: The time spent going to conferences is inversely proportional to the time available for completing polls. — Ken	[reply]

I can count the ones I've been to on the fingers of one hand :) ECDL 2006 YAPC::EU::2009 Two or three of the London Perl Workshop events	[reply]

Fairly regularly ... Frequently What does that even mean? I chose "Fairly regularly" as I can't fathom what frequently would mean in the context of conferences. Once a year at the German Perl & Raku Workshop. Easy, as I am in the organising team. And once every other decade to YAPC/TPC. Once a year at this Big Data & AI World, Cloud Cyber Security Expo Europe, Cloud Expo Europe and Data Centre World thingy. And until a year ago, more than once a year to IT job fairs. That' frequent?

What does that even mean? Well, quite. Regularity != Frequency. Halley's comet hits perihelion regularly but I'm unlikely to live to see the next one. I've been to conferences which are held regularly but infrequently too (eg. every 4 years). 🦛	[reply]

I imagined "Frequently" would be similar to a "Frequent flyer", so certainly more than once per year, but I couldn't pin a more precise number to it.	[reply]

Are we limiting this to just Perl conferences or any conference? I go to some form of business conference most months but have never been to a Perl conference.	[reply]

Any conference would count, though the poll was inspired by the upcoming Perl and Raku conference	[reply]
