Lack of Time

Lack of time appeared to be an issue for several participants. Some of participants’ comments about the lack of time are listed below:

• Not enough time for workshops
• I am always grateful for the managers’ meeting – could have used a bit more time for this – good to get ideas, discussions, problem solve – I would have liked another hour with a break in the middle.
• The Conference was too short.
• No free time during the day.
