Conducted or had conducted

Hi,

I was wondering if conducted or had conducted is the right verb to be used in the sentence below, and would the meaning of the sentence change If I use either of them. Thanks.

Vergel Natividad thanked the Department of Tourism for the learnings that the agency provided him through the seminars that it conducted/had conducted.
