They ~will~ ask questions. This conference talks about their alumni. They'll want to talk about the sessions.
IMHO, the absolute worse thing you can possibly do is to be deceptive in ANY WAY. It'll just backfire and make things worse.
Yeah - I haven't gotten away with that tactic since high school, when the folks would drop us at the mall for the G or PG movie, and we'd sneak into the R film instead.
"So did you like the movie? Was it good? What was it about?"
Too many questions I don't know the answer to!
Just tell 'em that it's a bunch of crap and you walked out...or that you got into an argument about it and didn't hear all the sessions....or that you had a second honeymoon and the heck with the sessions.
