Comments like, “It’s the best virtual conference I have attended so far.” and “The IDEA content will blow you away.” and “AFP Nova Scotia is, bar-none, THE best AFP Chapter in Canada”…well, the last one, maybe not :)…but the overall impression of MFC 2022 has been overwhelmingly positive from delegates, sponsors, and speakers.
