What past conference attendees say

Claire

“I have never attended a school nurse conference before. I was blown away by the high quality of speakers that you had. The well thought out variety of content was fantastic. Every speaker did an amazing job and was interesting and informative. There was so much to take in, my brain was full!  As for the honesty of the communication team that spoke, whow!

The MC was fantastic and made the whole event come together so well. You all deserve a good rest, well done!”

Karen

“I just wanted to email and say what a phenomenal job you and the rest of the team did to host an outstanding conference. It was professional, informative and well run. You guys are amazing.”

Sue

“THANKS again for your commitment in uniting us all, for all you have given up to do so, for your insight into why we all needed to gather, for your kindness when you spoke with me, …and more.

It was empowering and just what I needed.

The food was amazing too, wow!!!

People like you make the world a better and more beautiful place.

I hope you can put your feet up when you need to now…and not push through because you have to.

It was an honor to have “a seat at the table”…. your table.”

Megan

“The conference was AMAZING. Thankyou for all your hard work organising this top class, informative conference with wonderful speakers. It was a huge amount of hard work with a few challenges thrown in the way that you had to navigate through, which you all did so successfully. Thank you to all the sponsors as well, without you, events like this are not possible. Looking forward to the next one. Have a well deserved rest. “
