In our follow-up survey, attendees rated the event 4.7/5 and said there was a 90% likelihood they'd attend again in 2025. All the sessions receive 4+/5 ratings, with the most popular session being the interactive Table Topics discussion on risk & reward. The session had each table discuss a shared scenario and present their recommendations back to the group. Given the nature of the activity, there is no recording, but we're already working on how to incorporate this format again in 2025.
