“This is my second year attending and I love it! The quality of speakers in the technician tracks are amazing! [...] Most conferences I've looked into near my home are super expensive—so thank you for offering such a wonderful variety at an affordable price!”

“This was an amazing workshop! The speaker was incredible and you could tell she has a true passion for what she does. I gained a lot of good information on diabetes and how to deal with clients whose pets are diabetic.”
