Manal, thank  you for sharing your thoughts.

In my experience seated dinners only allow for a very limited interaction. An option would be preferable where free "mingling" is possible to maximise interaction.

Subject: [Internal-cg] Call#5 chat transcript - ICG Dinner ..

Thought it may be useful to post this in a separate thread ..

Just want to echo a few thoughts that were shared in call#5 chat room regarding ICG dinner ..

· Agree to benefits of having an ICG social event /informal gathering ..

· Agree with those who felt the dinner is a bit expensive ..

· Will still join if no other options are feasible ..

· Agree to keep it an ICG dinner to encourage communication and engagement among ICG members ..

Kind Regards
