Can A Soundtrack Make or Break a Tech Conference?

I’ve been to my share of tech conferences that either don’t have any music playing or have some horrible mix that the hotel supplies turned up either a little to much or not quite enough. In contrast, I know that Eric Norlin obsesses over every aspect of his conferences, including the soundtrack. He knows his audience well and nailed it this year. He’s published the soundtrack on the Defrag blog.

I’m now looking forward to the Glue Conference soundtrack (and conference).
