The results of the 46th IST Ops Meeting and 73rd SCC meeting underscore the importance of in-person gatherings.
These face-to-face interactions fostered stronger relationships, facilitated open discussions, completing requests and offers, and allowed for the exchange of ideas beyond what can be achieved through virtual communication alone.
The meetings not only enhanced collaboration but also built trust and camaraderie among colleagues.
It’s a reminder that behind the roles and responsibilities lie real individuals with diverse perspectives and experiences.
As the saying goes, “A handshake is worth a thousand emails.”
