Plus there will be free food. Academics love free food. I've been to conferences where the amount of looted tea and coffee sachets could meet the annual needs of a small country's visiting in-laws (economists get me a graph on this). I've seen senior professors swear blind they are undergrads at careers fairs in order to get their hands on a bic biro with Teva printed on it. I myself have eaten enough indeterminate paste filling sandwiches to know better. But they're free. And I shall be hitting the buffet tomorrow.
Ross Gellar was a pretty accurate stereotype as it turns out. Updates from the day to follow.
Update was that we need more regular updates. As it happens our next session to produce some of these is tomorrow!
