“Fantastic experience! Every presenter was well-prepared, and the agenda was spot on, creating a friendly and open space that made sharing experiences easy. The balance of serious administrative pro tips, empathy-based strategies, and levity, combined with good food and community building, created a positive and enjoyable experience. I appreciated the time together with so many people with diverse experiences and perspectives.”
