\\nThe nod of appreciation is important because there were times in 2020 and 2021 when I wasn\\u2019t sure about the future of live events returning in large format editions. Don\\u2019t get me wrong, I love small gatherings and intimate events, but the big ones are exciting and add another dimension to what we can do, present and how we can engage with large groups at one time. That is also why I think it is so important to lead off with this talk, presented and sponsored by Wescover.
