I practice Triathlon as an hobby. It is a lot of pleasure but also effort, sometimes in winter, in the cold and the dark. And then is the day of the competition. And you regognize a lot of people do the same as you around the world, face the same problems & share solutions. It is the same with LPPDE Conference. Thank you for this moment of exchange!

The LPPDE Europe 2017 conference was an excellent learning experience. The theme was current and the speakers brought great insight, vision and challenge for the participants. However, the engaged and active participants were the real highlight.
