The diversity of the program was excellent! Ending with the Modern Warrior Live presentation was very engaging.

I love networking with others who are also invested in veteran care.

I hope to attend in person some year. Loved the enthusiasm with which numerous presenters provided their information.

I appreciate the split sessions with different focused topics. I enjoyed the short presentations. I love all the perspectives and resources this conference gives you exposure to.
