Hey Gee,
So, although I didn't attend the entire event, I still had a great time. Wish I did make the meet and greet and I think that part is essential to getting to meet all in the group. At dinner there were the obvious ones part of the group that I met. But I think there were people on the other side I never met. Meeting people also lays on me. I have to go and introduce myself around the room. But that's also where the first meet and greet is important. Anyways from what I experienced I wouldn't change anything. I personally would go to the final meeting/breakfast next time.
