In a bit of breaking news this [Monday] morning, it appears that Intel has decided to cancel their Intel Developer Forum tradeshow going forward, including this summer's expected IDF17.
In an announcement posted on the IDF website, Intel has announced that IDF is no more, and that the entire IDF program is ending.
Intel has evolved its event portfolio and decided to retire the IDF program moving forward. Thank you for nearly 20 great years with the Intel Developer Forum! Intel has a number of resources available on intel.com, including a Resource and Design Center with documentation, software, and tools for designers, engineers, and developers. As always, our customers, partners, and developers should reach out to their Intel representative with questions.

Note however that Indians and others they hire by importing cheap labor don't quite count as “diversity.” Tech will remain a career choice that only racists and sexists make.
As much as I love learning new languages and cultures, if it's sending wages going down and doing nothing about the Narrative, what's the damned point?
It's more about knocking those dorks who never “get laid” (translation: be complacent little sex objects for cisfemales who want to collect child support payments) down a few notches. <sarcasm>Who said some smelly dorks were allowed to be middle class?</sarcasm>
