  1. I think the best thing at innovasion was the speeches. Since i'm grade 12 it was good to get some university and college intro books. I found it hard to listen to some of the colleges and universities because they all pretty much say the same thing.

  7. Yesterday was pretty okay. I liked how London School of hair and asthetics used actual students to showcase their talents. Also met some cool people from that Impact/Youth company.

  8. The last speaker talked about when running your own business not too worry about your weaknesses and only focus on your strengths. What if your weaknesses are what make you fail at running your own business?

  10. A lot of booths at the convention weren't interesting and they didn't stand out from the other booths. However it was interesting to listen to the speakers and how they started their business

  11. Overall i like the conference. I liked how they had free giveaways to pull you in. They gave you some good avice/information on business and different post secondary schools. I also liked the last speaker. He gave some good advice, like to focus on your strengths and to do something in life that you like, not what makes you the most money.

  13. I enjoyed the speakers better than the booths, I found if I was standing at a booth the people working the booth rather talk to some of the adults than me

  15. I agree with the speaker that said 'focusing on your strengths instead of your weaknesses' speech. This message really stood out to me. Out of everything else, I found Vancouver.com and London Hair School interesting.
