feedback

I enjoyed being in an environment of passion, and creativity - it was enriching getting the opportunity to be surrounded by people in the global health sphere in the triangle and beyond.

The breakout sessions this year were fantastic. I enjoyed the diversity of topics. I also loved Dr. Jones to end the day.

This was a great event. It was obvious a lot of work went into planning and recruiting diverse presenters.
