economy - The end of a conference

I was just writing my previous entry about the Speakers Bureau we are setting up, when this hilarious outcry on Danwei arrived. An - unfortunately anonymous - participant of the December 8 AdAge conference on Branding in China complaints about 300 US dollar he spent for a conference that did not make any sense, and was certainly not about the topic.
This is about one speaker:

Ms. Cai addressed the audience with a disgraceful PowerPoint presentation about Lenovo's marketing/communication/branding strategy in the world, patched together in a messy, unprofessional, and extremely unclear fashion, delivered at a speed that made the content of the slides and the words coming out of her mouth almost unintelligible.

He or she is not milder about the rest. In my time as a journalist I have attended so many really bad conferences, you actually started to get used to it. Together with the speakers (who got in for free like me), we tried to identify who the suckers were that actually paid. Later I understood that increasingly also the speakers had to pay for these non-conferences.
Mostly those complaints were forgotten as we hurried to the next non-conference. The good side of the internet is that people at least can air their feelings; unfortunately it happened anonymous.
It is one of the reasons to start an international Speakers Bureau in China. I think the time is ready for some quality too, but after reading this I'm not 100 percent sure.
