Big thank you to everyone who took time to pour into us during breakouts, breaks, lunch and late at night-the knowledge you provided will help us beyond measure. I think we had at minimum 3 (and more l'm sure) "This paid for my conference" moments. To everyone we met, it was a pleasure and we hope your clinic/company, staff and patients you serve all thrive as you take this information back and begin implementing.
