I have done both, though a long time ago. I would have loved to have attended the most recent one, but another commitment prevented me doing so. Maybe next time.

The problem is very real, getting worse and needs urgently addressing by whatever means possible.
I come from the world of science. We question
everything.
In any aspect of risk management, it's important to quantify
real risk. If we don't do that, we end up in a world dominated by
perceived risk where the management decisions are taken on the basis of tabloid "Phew-that-was-close" headlines.
"SSE" and "loss of separation" is all very well as labels. But aircraft don't occupy a volume of 100 cubic miles, thus "loss of separation" and "collision" are very different things.
