All things considered * we had a real good turn out.
All the scheduled speaker panelists attended with the one exception of
Shirley Heafey - Calgary Police Commission Public Complaint Director and acting Executive Director, she was no show.
All panel members actively participated and the audience was very active in the discussion at the end of the conference.
Kudos to the Calgary Public Library for having the audio, video and microphones setup and ready to go when we arrived at 4:45 PM.
Hosted by Calgary 420
