Thanks for your reflections Ralf - I think many will have a similar view to you. From the hardware perspective, I don't think you can beat the up front and personal opportunity that face to face events offer. That ability to truly evaluate the quality of a a printed piece, to size up a piece of kit and to discuss the pros and cons with knowledgeable staff can't be beaten. It will happen again.

Great overview.. Thanks Ralf.. I too am ready for the return of live events, perhaps not in the volume of the past, but there is something important about serendipitously tripping over new tech and old friends...
