Comments/suggestions about the conference
[edit]- (Suggestion) For future organizers, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with past ESEAP Conferences and Summits. This will help you plan a stronger and more memorable event.
- (Comment) Just a reminder for both myself and other participants for future events: make sure to take care of your health before attending conferences. Lowering work and/or daily activity could be helpful. I found myself really exhausted and couldn’t participate in all the sessions I had planned. Instead, I joined a session outside my usual area of focus — it was unfamiliar, but I gained new insights that I hope will be useful in my future journey in the movement.
