Would you prefer that a future WIF be held virtually or in-person ?Please note: A potential host city in one of Canada's four western provinces has not been identified for a possible in-person WIF 2024. Virtual event preferred: Free virtual WIF is convenient - stakeholders from anywhere in Canada and the world can easily participate, without travelling, free of charge. More people from a broader geographical area can participate virtually. In-person event preferred: The quality of in-person meetings outweighs the convenience and low cost of virtual WIF, even though in-person participant numbers may be lower and come from a less diverse geographical area. I'm prepared to spend the time and money required to a travel to a western Canadian city for WIF in-person interaction. N/A - I will not participate in WIF again.
