Dario, They were very helpful when I went over to them afterwards and asked questions. If you are interested in an intro let me know.
On a side note Commcon took a lot of effort and there wasn't enough sponsorship so it may not happen in 2020. If anyone else glances over videos, finds them useful and would want to sponsor I can put them in touch with the shows host.
