ATTENDEE COMMENTS FROM PREVIOUS CONFERENCES
REVIEWS
It gave me a new perspective into chronic pain and people's lived experiences. It has provided me with tools and knowledge I can use in my nursing practice.
An absolutely phenomenal event! It was so refreshing to learn and connect with others in person!
I always enjoy this event and learn a lot. The planning team comes up with a great agenda every year.
very diverse topics, all excellent! when this runs next year, I will be there in person instead of online.
Whole thing was great!
Learning that there is no "one-size-fits-all" approach to treating pain, and that most pain management is a combination of treatments and finding what works for the client.
