attendee quotes 

“I like that although remote, the

live sessions were just as 

engaging as they would have been 

in person. And had they been in 

person, I likely would not have 

been able to travel to attend.” 

“The thing I have missed most 

about not being able to attend in

person has been the personal 

contact and networking that has 

taken place at previous PSCR 

Stakeholder meetings...” “There should be more 

roundtable discussions or

discussion times... and

that’s an open forum where 

everyone can talk.” 

“The beauty of the virtual 

conference and the free format is

that now you can start to reach out 

to those little agencies that would 

never be able to travel.” “A real bonus from an 

international perspective was the 

removal of the need for early 

morning participation.” “Easier to access information

and attend multiple sessions that

would have normally been

simultaneous. Don’t have to pick 

and choose per time slot.” 

looking to the future

As we plan future engagements, PSCR is 

considering ways to incorporate the best 

elements from in-person and digital events
