Based on feedback the CBJC planning committee has received, it has been determined that the Innovation Factory Panel session will be held as a separate event at a later date, rather than a part of the CBJC 2022 program directly.We look forward to hosting this exciting and engaging virtual panel session in the coming weeks. Your registration email will be included in upcoming speaker announcements and confirmation of a new date for this event.We apologize for any inconvenience the change may cause. |
