I am very much looking forward to the 2021 edition of the Powerskills program. I had an incredible time and actually got inspired to start a new business following the offered presentations during Powerskills 2020 and I do thank the team in addressing current challenges.

I attended 9 different sessions and was inspired, empowered and finally learnt a lot. Looking forward to attending future sessions that your department organizes. It was a pleasure to meet you and talk to you too in break out rooms.

I want to let you know how much I enjoyed the conference last week. The quality of the speakers was uniformly excellent and I can’t believe I had access to it all for free!

Amtus
It was a great time to attend the PowerSkills 2020. The health crisis makes it easy to be stuck in isolation. Events like PowerSkills 2020 gives us a chance to spend some time together and learn from talented and gifted speakers.
