"The first conference, Bohmian Mechanics 2000, was the total fiasco: two leading representatives of Bohmian school, Shelly Goldstein and Basil Hiley, presented two totally different interpretations of Bohmian mechanics. Finally, they accused each other in misunderstanding of Bohm’s views (both had very close connections to David Bohm). My students whom I invited to learn Bohmian mechanics from its creators were really confused. The only useful information which I extracted from Bohmian Mechanics 2000 was that Bohmian mechanics does not give new experimental predictions comparing to conventional QM."
