Conference Highlights

“I enjoyed seeing the engagement by members in the chat function during sessions to have a chance for interaction in a virtual year. The member engagement activities, from the meditative moments to stretching and the dueling pianos also helped have some fun, relaxing time and a chance to see colleagues on-screen. Plus the usual great content. “ -Joan Michaels Aguilar

“Seeing all the smiling faces, the energy from attendees, and knowledge shared by speakers.” -Karla Romero

“My favorite moments were to see the many faces you normally see in person at the conference, and although we were not in person, CSMFO created a platform to interact with the presenters, see other attendee’s questions and responses. I am grateful for the effort and the outcome, we even had the opportunity to engage in magic shows, and breakout sessions. CSMFO took the current lemon environment and made an awesome lemonade! Kudos! “ -Yolanda Rodriguez

“There was nothing not to like in the virtual world. Keynotes were outstanding, concurrent sessions were informative, the networking was good (can’t beat in person), and the social activities we beyond my expectations. Much more membership engagement than I anticipated. Great Conference in the format.” -David Cain
