snoozefest

Dreadfully dull event

A snoozefest is something extremely boring—an event, movie, lecture, or meeting that could put you to sleep: The conference was a total snoozefest.

The word combines snooze with the -fest suffix suggesting an abundance of something, implying boredom so pervasive it dominates the experience.
