Yeah. I was recently at the NYC R conference; similar problem. Don't get me wrong, there were a lot of recruiting pitches, but the structure of company-led conferences does not, in my (admittedly limited) experience, lend itself to direct recruiting. It absolutely lends itself to making contact with awesome people and chatting to them and 6 months later finding a perfect role for them, buuuut.

Sooooooo I went to the big Elasticsearch conference and made an effort to reach out for recruiting. It didn't really work out well. Maybe I'm just bad at it.
If there is someone in SF and its not super expensive then I don't object but we have to think of these as opportunities to make contacts rather than recruiting.

It would be worthwhile for someone to go just for recruiting purposes alone.
