Intreseting and well delivered. Thank you

Overall very happy with the event - a lot of enthusiasm and positive energy from the organizers Some interesting not so well known insights Breakouts - in spite of dropping attendance (unavoidable) - relatively robust - with people actively sharing the outcomes Going forward, I would consider some quizzes and polls as we go - this is easy with zoom (while showing movies does not always work well)
