“One of the Best”
“This was one of the best conferences I’ve ever attended. It was well-organized, the speakers were terrific, and it was so energizing to see how much positive RPL activity there is going on in the province right now. As a very long time practitioner, it was a lot like old home week. The buzz from beginning to end was vibrant, positive, & productive.”
