I really enjoyed this event and hope you'll be planning many more of them. It's refreshing to attend présentations that give you information in ways that you can apply to your work. I learned a lot from this event. Thank you to all involved.

Informative, interesting and fun! I'll be making the most of online access for 90 days for all the events I was unable to attend or attended only partially due to overlap. Thank you!


Great event! I tried to cope as much as possible. Sometimes my little kids were around, hanging around my neck, asking for chocolate milk but I couldn't stop paying attention to the many interesting things that were being presented. Congratulations!!!
