I think it is so wonderful that we do these days. It highlights the reason for some of our initiatives and stresses the importance of making decisions based on data.
The topics were timely, the speakers excellent.
The keynote speaker did a great job of taking a complex set of data and guidelines and making the material relevant and understandable to a wide audience.
