Discover User research findings and pain points:
In-person guides are very often so long.
There is no option to find a lecturer every day.
I would like to keep the lecturers presentation with me and come back to points whenever I want to.
The printed text is so long and I am not able to read it as I am so lazy, even If I am interested in the topic.
It would be even nicer to be able to contact the curator if I have some specific questions.
