I concur that CAC and CAP etc are invaluable. It’s not only the partying, which is awesome btw :shots: , but also the chance to get a better feel for the industry which you can quickly loose sight of sat behind a computer day in day out.
I recommend everyone to at least check out one of these conferences, although I can sympathise with people having to travel a long distance, but I’m sure they can combine it with a holiday or something, there’s certainly enough to see in Europe.
