(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.” |
