Attendee Feedback

What Attendees Are Saying

Feedback from legal professionals who have attended our seminars.

The speakers are all top-notch, very experienced and insightful regarding the BK legal issues, and I much appreciate their efforts.

Faculty & Materials

If I had some small outline to identify cases and topics that were going to be discussed, it would help me to better prepare for hearing the presentations.

Online Presentation

Always a great seminar that I try to attend every year.

Faculty & Materials

I know online is more convenient, but I would like to see it get back to in-person. I think it offers a better opportunity to focus on the presentations and discussions, and to interact more effectively with colleagues.

Program Format

I loved the format with lots of discussion and appreciated the camaraderie among the presenters. I appreciated getting the materials in advance. Thank you very much.

Faculty & Materials

The speakers were very knowledgeable and interesting. Presentation was excellent — no suggestions.
