Help, or better exchange of experiences - why not.
From the last community meeting:
~~~
Someonsomeone: what is your purpose in visiting conferences? Networking, getting investors, developers
?Max: I have many reasons to visit conferences, the reasons shifts from conference to conference, and also over time it changed quite a lot.
Some reasons are:
- Networking (I met nearly every big and important person in the space, most important reason)
- Developers (It was an early effort, but I quickly found out that it didnt help at all. Every dev on a conference already has a good job)
- Learn to understand the space and know how it ticks. (In January I knew nothing, I learned dramatically much in the past 11 months by attending conferences.)
- Promoting Lisk (People on conferences are multiplicators, by telling them good stuff about Lisk they will tell it to more people.)
- Give Lisk credibility (If people see a face they give a project much more credibility!)~~~
I absolutely agree with that.
And I hope Max will also visit the most important conferences next year, maybe with Oliver - who knows?

But you're right. A constant increase due to the own development is much better and more sustainable as a short-term pump.
