How would you rate the value of the materials provided as part of the course?
This was a good stand in during the COVID year, but I am excited to get back to the in person aspects of this conference.
Would be really great to have an updated supplement on all the topics given the continuously changing landscape with COVID
I wish the course would focus more on litigation, because that is my area.
enjoyed all the speakers
Audio in many of the sessions did not match video.
