Great slide deck. I’m sorry that I missed this one due to the snow. It might be a good topic to follow up on in STC’s next programming cycle.

I am glad about the response and the participation of the audience. Despite the snow, the session was really a good chance for me to share some research I have done on the topic, and to get ideas and comments from everyone. I look forward to more interaction. Thanks to STC-Montreal.
