    This year's show was much better than previous shows. The vendor selection as well as the keynote speakers were very knowledgeable and forward thinkers. Looking forward to a next show next year to get even bigger and better. Thank you so much.

    Impressed with the Growth of the EV Sector
    What did you like best about the event?
    The diversity of the speakers, really appreciated hearing from a range of government, industry and start ups
    What could the organizers do to improve the event?
    Food, the venue food is insanely expensive and very limited in choice, sound for the stage- you had some great speakers but the stage and sound setup limited the ability to hear them clearly.

    Overall, a great experience. The panels and presentations were thought provoking.
    What did you like best about the event?
    The ability to connect with vendors in person whom I've been speaking with over the phone
    What could the organizers do to improve the event?
    One thing I found frustrating is the lack of accountability from utilities. During the talks, almost everyone from a utility mentioned to 'reach out early' - in our experience, this has not helped or worked. Utilities are slow to engage, and often unwilling to work towards solutions. I'm not sure how the conference can support more accountability, but it would be something that would support electrification projects immensely.

    It was a great start to this massive project net zero
    What did you like best about the event?
    I thought all the booths did a great job in providing helpful information. They have also been great at following up.
    What could the organizers do to improve the event?
    The organizers should probably do a better job enforcing all participant to use recyclable products.

    Coordinate climate readiness and energy transition preparedness for the City of Toronto electricity system
    What did you like best about the event?
    The panel discussions held in on the main stages and in Theatres East and West, which had some very enlightening speakers.
    What could the organizers do to improve the event?
    A minor point of improvement could be a way to coordinate some "all together" sessions so there is a little more cohesion.
    Did you have a favourite speaker or session? Please tell us below
    The session on grid technologies such as V1G, V2G etc., which had speakers from IESO, SWTCH Energy and Peak Power.

    Attend if you're ready to invest in charging infrastructure or need partners to assess EV readiness for your fleet
    What did you like best about the event?
    Good layout: workshop/event stages were distributed around the perimeter, always something running which you could pop into. Knowledgable vendors and networking opportunities. Some highly regarded and large scale sponsors which always helps draw a crowd. Affirmation that electrification is important for all businesses to consider whether they operate a commercial fleet or not.
    What could the organizers do to improve the event?
    More food options, including better choices for dietary restrictions (vegetarian, halal etc...) Would have liked to see more exhibitors and a greater variety. Obviously EV charging is the focus so the quantity of charging network exhibitors was expected. But personally I would have gotten more value if there was also representation from vehicle OEMs, telematics solutions, commercial fleet operators, private and rental fleet use cases etc.. Walking the show took very little time. For the ticket price I would have expected more exhibitors. But overall good value for networking.

    The session with Loblaws and Element was quite good. 'Lessons learned' type panels are often more valuable than speculative ones.

    It was great to connect with other like minded businesses and understand how they are working to reduce carbon emission and become more sustainable.
    What did you like best about the event?
    The sessions were unique and engaging and I came out of them with new ideas. The sesson discussing how SFU is building and managing charger infrastructure was great.
    What could the organizers do to improve the event?
    Healthier and less expensive food options. It would be great to hear from more companies and indigenous nations on how they are interacting with charging companies.

    Insightful. Energizing. Bigger and better than before.
    What did you like best about the event?
    Good selection of vendors, great keynote speakers. Good turnout and still love the test drives. Keep that up with Plug N Drive.
    What could the organizers do to improve the event?
    Allow for attendees to book 1 on 1 connections similar to collision. Have the attendees fill out their profiles and perhaps book appointments with other attendees to make the most out of networking. Small huddles and pop up work shops would be great. Feature the latest innovation ideas would be good as well.
