Just go outside
This year it is noticeable that there are significantly fewer participants at many events than in previous years. The decline is not due to bad content or experiences, but rather to two points: The number of events has risen significantly in recent years and the current economic conditions are causing the number of trips to further training courses to fall. Let's hope that at least the last point is only temporary, because if the users don't have time anymore to educate themselves, the companies will certainly have a hard time to master the future tasks and competitors.
Kind regards
