I'm not convinced age is the catalyst to being brilliant and it's framed as such. It's more about aptitude and attitude and as you get older you become wiser, more resilient, even more humble. This is the first time I read about someone's experiences at one of these events. Great take, the dating bit made me chuckle as well.

You had me laughing at: “Both sides seemed to be privately asking themselves: without the dating prospects, what’s the point of attending?” :)

On a serious note, to be considered for a list, don’t you have to be nominated? Which to me seems like a network exercise to find someone who will help you get in instead of being selected by the committee based your industry work.
