ATTENDEE QUOTES

"The SWBA planning group hit it out of the park w /the facility venue for this year. La Mesita was a great site and the staff of Buffalo Thunder did a superb job."

"This was my first year in attendance. The presentations were high caliber and the location was beautiful."

"The discussion at the Plan Sponsor roundtable was excellent. I wish we would have had more time. Peter Ricchiuti was a perfect choice for the Opening session. His energy and humor set the mood for the conference."

"I like how SWBA uses a Subject Matter Expert and an Employer Sponsor in the breakout sessions. It validates the information and is good to hear the actual experience of implementing a service or change."
