There are no complaints regarding the seminar itself. The seminar leader, Mr. Haacke, presents the seminar topics competently and informatively.
The only negative aspect was the technology, which functioned suboptimally.

We apologize for the connection issues experienced by online participants. For the event space in Frankfurt Westend, we tested both Telekom and Vodafone as providers and established a 5G backup. Nevertheless, a stable internet connection throughout the entire day cannot be achieved. We have therefore decided to offer online participation exclusively from the Lucerne location going forward.
