Personally, I don't want to look back. I have no idea whether C&C gives value for the charges they bill, and it's a sunk cost.

 

What I don't quite know how...

Interesting thoughts and thanks to everyone.

I do think the 2020 Summit is an anomaly. A one off. No idea if this will be the future but I started this assuming...

Is this because of PASS or the events? Not arguing, and the underprivileged and the disadvantaged struggle. My view has been they learn about a UG or SQL Sat, without...

My basic thoughts:

1. yes, clearly to me, but is it worth the cost/resources expended.
2. no idea
3. there needs to be some management company. This cannot be completely run over time...
