– Jennifer Fulton
many conferences and trainings. This, by far, was the best ever!
From the organization of the whole event, the friendly and
informative people on the phone and emails, the great hotel to
the top-notch presenters, it was superior!! If at all possible,
I will sure plan on attending in the future.”
