Some quotes from participants in 2023:
“The best course I’ve been on in my 12 years of practice. Engaging speakers, talks just the right length, fantastic small group sessions with just the right amount of interactivity and the videos included in talks and tutorials were a brilliant learning tool. Came away really inspired!”
“The thing that came across was that everybody was both an expert yet also able to convey that expertise in a way that was very helpful”
