tis a shame. Given the current situation I think it's even more vital to have the virtual option. Wonder if a significant drop in attendance will neglect a lot of the savings. Hopefully they're recording the sessions, like Viewconference? I would pay money to watch those afterwards. But the lack of communication is not a good look. Anyway at least looking forward to whatever DigiPro releases on the DL later.

Guess I'll see you all in Vancouver 2028!
