Attendant satisfaction with
Speaker (ranking 5)
“ I was surprised with the Innovation in banking industry. There are lots of
knowledge I don’t know but the workshop motivates me to learn more and
be well-prepared after graduation”
“At first, I want to admit that the presenter is a quite inspiring person. Her
advice about ways of changing yourself really widen my mindset. However,
her presentation is a little bit long and sometimes is lack of the sums up for
us so it's sometime a little bit difficult to catch up with her. There's also one
problem that in Tech's workshop, they use many professional words of
banking and their cases focus too much on banking problem so that it's very
hard for people not studying Banking to understand and solve”

extremely interesting but I can not apply for the position because of my
personal stuff.”
