The GRI conference is a great opportunity to meet a network with colleagues that you don't have an opportunity to see, speak about market practices experiences, learn about trends. It's a lot more effective and a lot more creative than actually a typical panel with a presenter and a three-panel discussion sitting on a chair on stage. I think it's much more conducive to an open and interactive event exchange.
