Here are a few of the responses from our participants:

• The diversity of topics and public/private/academic community was a main strength. The presenters were of very high quality.

• The depth and credibility of the speakers was excellent.

• The program was very organized. The presenters were very good- effectively communicated their knowledge and were interesting and engaging.

• The integration of multiple disciples and successfully demonstrating their connectedness to the process was enlightening. The failure to motivate governments and business people into the process has come from that missing (multidisciplinary) component in the past.
