Hello!

It depens on the kind of event. If it was the typical "open" one where many people are invited, nothing to worry.

However, it if was an event with a limited invited list, then I would defenetly write HR explaining the reasons why you could not go, just in case.

Hope it helps! Cheers,

Clara

Hi,

No, you won't get blacklisted, no need to worry about this, just focus on your CV and interview prep.

Best,

Hi,

No, nobody cares, unless it was a case workshop with a limited number of people and you did not notify them.

No it won't matter but would have probably been useful for your preparation and to meet some Bainees.
