This is what you said…
Very ‘out of the box’ approach to looking at how we address the challenges facing aged care.
Extremely engaging, informative and collaborative.
Exhibitors got the opportunity to be part of the presentations – how inclusive is that!!!!!! Baffles me why no other conference I have ever attended took on this format.
Best conference I have attended in all my years working as a health professional.
