wow you have a much better memory than I do, I don't even remember anything about the event (tbf for several years I used to attend a WordCamp somewhere practically every other week!)

Reach - the publishing group that owns a lot of local papers as well as some national titles in the UK, such as the Daily Express and the Mirror - has run their online portfolio into the ground. All their paper websites are like this, and staff have been complaining for some time that their content is getting buried under adtech noise.
