The problem with these particular presentations is that it distorts the whole event. There have been about 250 presentations so far today (and they're still going).

1) Yes, probably a lot of people was here to get the free ticket (including myself)

2) Most people (including myself) still took it very seriously (proof all the people who worked 20 hours straight and slept on floors for few minutes).

It's sad that in hacker culture, forgoing sleep is seen as "taking it seriously". From my experience at game jams, and from the people who run these game jams, skipping on sleep is an almost certain guarantee of failure.

Sorry for the off topic.

We presented at the hackathon, but how did you get the ticket to Disrupt? We asked and they told us that they were going to email them to us, but so far, no ticket in the email ... ;-/

"no one" is your own opinion. Plenty of people take it seriously because the tech industry has a problem with this type of behavior, and these presentations don't help its image any.
