Conference Feedback: Insights from Registrants
At this year’s Annual Conference, registrant feedback was collected at the Engineers and Geoscientists BC booth and through an online survey for virtual attendees about how registrants want to engage with Engineers and Geoscientists BC.

Registrants were asked to rate the topics they deemed most important. They were:

  • Climate change and sustainability (74 percent);
  • Governance and regulatory programs (46 percent);
  • Artificial intelligence (40 percent);
  • Engineering and technical knowledge (39 percent); and
  • Practice guidance (31 percent).

“One of the most rewarding aspects of the conference was the opportunity to speak directly with registrants,” said Tara Bushman, Manager, Communications. “Hearing registrants’ perspectives and ideas reinforced our shared commitment to protecting the public and the environment, and we are eager to explore collaborative opportunities that align with these goals.” 

Preferred Methods for Feedback

Engineers and Geoscientists BC also wanted to understand how registrants preferred to provide feedback. The preferred methods were:

  • Surveys (52 percent);
  • Virtual town hall meetings (28 percent);
  • In-person focus groups (25 percent); and
  • In-person events (24 percent).

This information will assist the organization in its registrant engagement strategy.

Next Steps

As Engineers and Geoscientists BC analyzes the feedback and develops its engagement strategy, registrants will be updated on the progress through eNews and Innovation.

Enterprise or Falcon?

For fun, registrants at the booth were asked who they thought would win the battle between Star Trek’s Enterprise and Star Wars’ Millenium Falcon. Star Trek’s Enterprise triumphed with 47 votes against the Falcon's 39.
