There were as many people as I expected

The number of attendees was low and not a very good mix of individuals

Plenty of attendees but not enough private consultants or large industry types to network

What did you think about the overall length of the meeting?

The length was great. I enjoy a meeting that is 2-days with plenty of content.

Sorry, I did not attend

The tour was excellent and very informative. I enjoy outdoor events linked with the meeting.

Did you enjoy the Student/Mentor lunch?

Sorry I was not involved

Yes, I participated and I really love the opportunity to speak with a Mentor/Mentee.

Thanks for the opportunity but I don't believe that it was very worthwhile

Excellent Mentor/Mentee lunch, I believe it should be expanded and allow for more time for discussions.

How did you enjoy the evening social at Klondike Kates?

The venue was a bit overwhelming and crowded. Much rather a smaller and casual atmosphere.

It was a fun event. Thanks to FMC for sponsoring the food and drinks.
