Hi Gerard, (and everyone else)

Hoi, For me this is a negative approach, it is all about costs and there is no consideration of benefits. When you consider a conference with over 100 people, you CANNOT replace it by digital means. You will not have the conversations made possible by being there in person and getting to meet other people learn to know them, appreciate them, respect them. Thanks, GerardM
