I managed to get to many more events this year because of the pandemic and them being remote\/online. Which meant not having to take extra time off to travel to them and have all the expenses of travel, hotel, food, etc.<\/p>\n

It worked out for me, deciding not to attend CSUN this year. It’s an accessibility conference in Los Angles. As it was scheduled at the beginning of everything, closing up related to the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Luckily many conferences had time to switch to remote events. I used my vacation to attend more of them.<\/p>\n

Used Vacation to Attend Some Events<\/h2>\n

A good part of my vacation had been saved by not traveling to any of these events.<\/p>\n

In 2020 I attended many remote events. From four or five conferences, a few workshops, a few couple hour-long food classes\/demos, some meetups, remote field trips, etc.<\/p>\n

I even attended an accessibility camp in Australia because it started at the end of my workday. Which allowed me to participate for a few hours at least before heading to bed.<\/p>\n

Events I Attended<\/h2>\n

Below is the list of events I was able to attend in 2020, with dates listed if possible. I might have missed one or two, but these are most of them.<\/p>\n
