Very Good
It was very well done. No suggested changes.
I liked the breakout of various specific types of employment cases and I'd like to see more of that. There were a couple of speakers who were so captivating and I really appreciated those speakers taking into account how to convey the material in an interesting way.
Excellent!
Well done!
Good content but should be noted that a lot of it is focused on early COVID days.
Comments from the 2020 Labor and Employment Law Live Webcast
The UT staff did an excellent job turning a live seminar into a virtual seminar.
Well done for the challenging times.
There seemed to be less differentiation between what has been a more HR practitioner track and the attorney track than I remember from previous years, which was unfortunate.
I attend this conference regularly and was concerned about the format change. I was very pleasantly surprised at the convenience and quality of this webcast/online live approach. Well done to all who made this possible.
Understanding the virtual presentation required by the COVID19 virus and untested IT issues, I enjoyed the program
