Such a great conference! The speakers were fantastic and I loved all the information. The place was also perfect food and drinks were great! I can't thank you enough for allowing me to bring my baby made it such an easier and fun time for me. The variety of topics and education levels was great. Always wanting to learn more and this conference is my favorite. It's difficult to get continuing education for my IBCLC and so appreciate this conference. |
This conference helped to improve my confidence in my teaching ability. Love the variety of topics. I just want to say thank you so very much for everything! The food was truly delicious. You could not get a better meal from a five-star restaurant. Every person was so very nice. I will be coming back next year to (not only) learn but you also have such a wonderful day of Fellowship. And lastly...I love this conference! There are great speakers, lots of clinical use, great food, well-organized, and well-planned, and I love the gifts too. Thank you. |
