Events Aug 28, 2025

With so much information readily available on the internet I see no added value whatsoever in attending industry events.

As a fulltime freelancer my working days are generally packed. Attending events would mean a loss of time and income. I'm not some kind of CEO that can afford to leave office for 1 or more days.
