<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Hey -general,<br>
<br>
I was talking to a bunch of RB folks yesterday, and we came to the<br>
loosely shared view that, after peak Covid and other industry-wide<br>
changes, conferences are no longer the "must attend" events they<br>
previously were… especially in the area of software supply-chain<br>
security. In rough, practical terms, it seems harder to justify<br>
conference travel today than it did in mid-2019.<br>
<br>
To that end, what conferences are folks on this list still going to,<br>
and, hopefully, still getting something from? I mean, there must be<br>
some exceptions other than FOSDEM… :)<br>
<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
<br>
