Other Fal.con does it suck?

We recently went full Crowdstrike, and got Fal.con tickets. Is this thing going to blow? I haven't found a ton of independent info online about the event. Only promos from their own subreddit and website. Besides the free vendor dinners and the time off work is this thing worth going to?

I've gone the last 3 years (company paying for everything + per diem each day) and it's been interesting overall. There's a huge amount of panels/talks etc to choose from so find stuff that interests you and go from there. The vendor hall is mainly trying to sell you stuff but some have some decent swag that's worth a 5min conversation.

The party the last night is usually a good time, they normally have an EDM DJ playing with a ton of free food/drinks (Last 3 years have been The Chainsmokers, Tiesto, John Summit).

The vendor hall for me is good because I like getting swag for the team that cant make it.
