EDC 2023 was truly a worthwhile experience as presenters came together to exchange ideas, practices,  and experiences, giving more opportunities for me to learn from and with colleagues from various disciplines/ fields in education. What I also appreciated about the conference, which was quite different from the other conferences I attended, was that we were able to participate in all the presentations as part of the audience and did not miss out on any presentations since there were no parallel sessions.
