Digital industry: The resumption of offline events

After two years in the pandemic, there are few industries that have struggled as much as the event industry. Sure, where many people come together, viruses don't have a hard time spreading. To curb that, many events of 2020 and 2021 were cancelled or only held as online versions. Now it seeams that in 2022 almost all events in the digital industry will be back in offline format. Markus Sekulla has taken a look to see which tech conferences are worth recommending this year. 

The resumption of offline events is something I'm personally excited about, as hopefully with all hygiene measures in place, there will be safe networking and coffee-drinking again. However, we will find the New Normal here as well: Fist-bumps, pre-admission tests, and fewer hugs. Still, since many of us have somewhat unlearned the art of socializing - I'll admit mine is a little rusty, too - the 2022 event season comes just in time.

But where is networking happening in the digital industry in 2022. As always, this year we've researched what's on in 2022 and created a guideline. Curated by me and therefore please no claims that this list is complete.
