Russavia,
Do you remember like me reading why these people came to this conference?
In that light, do your remarks provide us with any connection to these
objectives? .Do you know the topics of the presentations given? Do you know
the topics of the conversations that happened inside and outside the
scheduled meetings? Can you imagine that the result may be increased
cooperation and less waste because of shared information on best practices?
Thanks,
GerardM

£2600, our current estimate, seems good value.
Some bloke is charging me
£120 to come and tell me my dishwasher is broken....
And I can tell you that the conference hasn't resulted in a single new
long-term editor on our projects, did nothing to address the gender gap on
our projects in any way that can be seen in metrics, did nothing to create
heaps of content, did nothing to address issues relating to our
infrastructure/software, etc.
Unlike the dishwasher guy who charged you £120 to tell you the bleeding
obvious that something is broken, I am willing to give you the above
comments for free.
Regards,
Russavia
