Mid-Year Meetings Demonstrate the Value of Face-To-Face

By Brent Kemp, President and CEO

Portfolio Update

Highlights from the North America Mid-Year Meeting

By Ben Craker, Portfolio Manager

As expected, the Mid-Year Meeting was a whirlwind of working group and other activity with several of us looking for a way to clone ourselves to take part in more than one session at a time. Through the jam-packed three days a lot of progress was made, and great discussions were had in the in-person meetings, which helped to clarify the direction of multiple projects.

If you were not able to attend, or if you were there and wanted to go back and review some of the material presented all the slides from the sessions are posted here on Confluence. Read more >
