Looking back at the DTL Communities@Work conference

On October 2nd 2018 DTL organised its first successful Communities@Work conference, featuring multiple parallel workshops organised in close collaboration with DTL partner communities, two international keynote speakers and a network plaza during the breaks with sponsored and stakeholder booths.

The conference was visited by more than 250 enthusiast participants.
