Subject: Report on Lumos conference

Dear Jonas,

Thanks for making it possible for me to go to the Lumos conference in London last week. As you know, it is the biggest technology conference in the country and very important to our work.

I learned a lot and I've made some new contacts that will be good for our company. I think we should try to attend the 'Innovation Day' in April as well.

I focused on talks about robotics, as that is our most interesting area at the moment. The presentations on robot 'hands' and robots for hospitals were particularly interesting for us. I'm attaching a detailed report on this new research with some suggestions about how we can use it.

Thanks again for this opportunity. I'm happy to discuss the report further if you're interested.

Best regards,
Nina

I never going to the conference. I feel regret because one of the benefits of my previous company is to attend an international conference and I didn't take the opportunity. This pandemic era make the international conference held online.

I have to attend seminars and talks to learn about the latest business developments. Due to COVID-19, many seminars have become online talks. Some people say this is a new normal and we have to adapt this fast changing world!
