(Spontaneous) comments from some attendees:   Dr M: “That was fantastic! Everything was great. The speakers, the info itself, the venue, the food, the sponsors, the gifts!!!!!!!!(…) It really really brings people together. I don't think there has ever been an opportunity for so much interaction among vets who semi-knew or didn't know each other in the LVVMA. (…) You have such a rare combo of qualities of expertise, teacher, social connector, organizer, persuader, etc. Thank you so much for using them for all of our benefit!”   Dr K: “I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciated the conference today. The venue was great, the acoustics were great; you could hear the speakers very well and see the slides. The speakers were well versed and interesting, the smaller number of people made for a more intimate feeling to the whole thing. (…) I really appreciate information I can use. (…)  Love the interactive style of the talks and audience participation. Hope you have another one in the works!”   Sheri with ProVetLogic, a sponsor: “Thank you for yesterday's conference. I found it most interesting and fun too.”   Dr S: “THANK YOU for the great CE today. I got a lot of good info and you made it a lot of fun”   Joshua with Veterinary Pathology Services, a sponsor: “Dear Phil,  Jim and I are so grateful for your support and belief in our endeavor. Thank you for inviting us to your symposium - we enjoyed it s great deal - and are amazed at your energy and focus. We send you our very best wishes and thanks for everything you do and have done for us - with friends like you we will make our endeavor work!”   Anonymous: “Thanks for putting this together.” Dr D: “Thank you so much for the Fall Symposium.  What a wonderful event - great speakers, great food, great sponsors, great day”.   Anonymous: “Loved the program. So nice to have a more personal event, not to be 1 in 1000. Able to discuss issues at our table.”   Dr N: “Thank you for a great CE yesterday. Your part was fabulous as usual and I enjoyed the Dental Specialist and MRI info also.  I could tell it took a lot of time to coordinate the event.”   Anonymous: “Very nicely done. There was a great interaction between the speakers and the audience.”

. October: Conference on the benefits of pet insurance (Allentown, PA) - Clinical case presentation - a fun & interactive meeting!

Feedback from the organizer:  “I thought that the evening went very well… (…)

Your talk laid the perfect ground work for leading into a specific discussion of the benefits of pet health insurance. (…) It is obvious that you have a good rapport with the local veterinary community, and the give-and-take of your presentation was well suited to the audience.  I think the prizes kept the attendees interest very well.”

. October: 2 conferences given at the ACVS symposium in Washington DC: "25 ways to fight hypothermia" and "The neurological exam."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

. October: 3 conferences on spays and neuters in Boston (Massachusetts VMA)
Feedback from the organizer:
“The talk(s) (were) exactly what I wanted.
I loved your lecture style.  I can honestly say that most lectures I have attended throw so much written info at you that you leave with very little memory of what happened.
Because you stuck to the main points, the information stuck. Also, making it an interactive session made it very enjoyable.
Most people need toothpicks to keep their eyes open in most lectures. I believe that your lectures will always be successful with this lecture style. Thank you again for being so easy to work with.”
