XDC2022 Open Conversation - Day 1

[Chay_Wesley]

When I was a young man I looked forward to the conferences my employers would pay for me to attend. From Xojo’s website:

Surely some of those companies would pony up to send a developer or two to a potentially useful conference.

@Christian_Schmitz

For all Xojo conferences we have the same problem.
The people, who can afford to come to conferences, are the more older developers. And developers are somewhere 80 to 90% male.

Young 30 year old developers don’t necessary spend 1000s of $ to come to a conference. They prefer to just watch the videos.

I tried before with free tickets for young developers, but that is still not convincing for them to join.
