Unless you specifically identify AI and blockchain as being major interests of yours, and unless you attempt to describe this event in a lot of depth vis-a-vis what you learned from it, I doubt any partner would think to ask you many questions about it. Firstly, partners will be well aware that you must have attended many events with many different firms, so there can be no reasonable expectation for you to have remembered and analysed a lot what you were taught in any particular one months afterwards. At most, they will expect you to have some short high-level reflections/takeaways from it. Secondly, even if they did want to test you on it, in most cases they couldn't: partners do not attend/know what is being covered in the vast majority of recruitment events the firm is doing, and briefing them for the purposes of your assessment would be highly inefficient. As such, my advice would be to mention the event in your answer, but briefly, noting just one or two key takeaways. This is the approach I implemented in my "firm events" answers when listing almost a dozen events, and it never ended up being an issue at interview stage. I have also not heard of this becoming an issue at interviews for many people I have helped prepare, so I would really not worry too much about it.</blockquote>

Verification: Our company is called, "The Corporate ___ Academy". What is the missing word here?
