Right. I can count on less than the fingers of one hand the number of useful conferences I've been to (and by useful, I mean there was one little thing in the entire conference which was not a total waste of time).

As long as it's spoken in an acceptable manner and/or venue, this kind of honesty is fine. Everybody already knows what's up. Management isn't as easily fooled as people want to think, there's simply an expected level of decorum and keeping up appearances.
