"We are excited to embrace the opportunities offered by modern technology," BC Natural Resources Forum communications manager Claire Perusse said in an email last year. "Our digital platform will enable participants to share knowledge, new research findings, innovative practices, and case studies. The virtual program will include live webinars, panel discussions, presentations, and interactive Q&A sessions."
In addition, there will be daily, virtual "breakout rooms" to allow for online networking.
"Given that there will be no travel requirements for this year’s forum, there will be few limits on the number of participants we can welcome," Perusse said. "Therefore, we are hoping to engage more participants and attract a wider range of high-profile speakers from across Canada in this discussion."
