In fact, the best such seminar/conference event I have ever attended in terms of directed content and knowledgeable presenters," said one attendee. Another noted, "The topics were timely and helped to validate the things we are doing right, as well as provide knowledge and insight about areas where we can make strategic and operational improvements."
