This document discusses different approaches to learning at conferences. It notes that traditional conference experiences typically involve lectures and panels that provide information but do not enable deeper integration and application of concepts. Surface learning aims for quick fixes while deep learning involves wrestling with new ideas and relating them to experience. The document advocates for conferences that give attendees opportunities to actively try out ideas, get feedback, and try again in order to support deep learning. Interactive experiences that facilitate receiving, reflecting on, making sense of, and testing new information are presented as ideal for learning.
