Feedback
- Excellent topics, well researched and presented.
- The calibre of the speakers was excellent and it was a truly safe space to ask questions. I don’t think I have ever asked so many questions at a conference. I was fully engaged with the content of every presentation. The array of topics was relevant to issues arising in everyday practice, and the speakers were all engaging. I formed several new important connections with interstate practitioners, only possible by attending in person. A VERY worthwhile experience all round!
- It was my first attendance and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The information shared was extremely helpful and relevant. Thank you!
