If it’s an investment that you’re struggling with or knowledge and skills or even struggling with digital transformation, the event caters for everyone and each individual/business attending, will come back with something valuable. Your kids probably spend an amount of their time on Roblox and that should tell you that tech is indeed the future, get with the program or be left behind! Your future will thank you or your past (this present) will haunt you.
