"Thought provoking, enriching, discussions amongst colleagues across provinces and jurisdictions, in a friendly open-minded environment. The connections made the discussions and takeaways so great. The format of discussions, instead of presentations, is unique, and I found it to be extremely effective. There was real participation by all participants. I also really liked the small group. Everyone had an opportunity to talk and get to know each other."
