“Excellent meeting. It gets better every year. ”
“This was one of the best meetings I’ve been to. While I am not against the idea of partnering with industry for funding of the research fund, I would still hope that it is kept out of the annual meeting as the lack of industry vendors/displays was a refreshing change.”
“Overall this was a great meeting, very educational. I appreciated the discussion time after every session and think that is a strength of this meeting. ”
“One of my favorite meetings. Efficient and no industry bias. ”
