I don't know. For me, I think conferences are just about networking. I don't necessarily miss any of the talks because I just catch up on YouTube afterwards most conferences these days. Put the talks on YouTube. The main reason I kind of wish I was there is the networking aspect, especially as a freelancer. It's kind of key.

But again, as a freelancer, getting over to Toronto and paying for, I think it was like $500, $600 ticket on top of hotels and flights. It's just like... And then the opportunity cost of lost income, because if I go, it'll be probably a week, and that's one week of income lost. You're looking at, when you combine everything, you're probably looking at closer to like $5,000.

Yeah, they're really good. I think I'd give a shout out to Friendly.rb where I spoke last year. It was last week. I couldn't go this year just because the dates didn't work for me. I had another trip planned. But if anyone's looking to get over to Europe, that's probably one. And I'm speaking at Haggis Ruby next month as well. That's the first year of that conference in Edinburgh.

So that should be fun because Ollie, who we had on this show, I think two or three weeks ago, he's a speaker as well. So I'm sure that'll be a good conference as well.
