What Participants Are Saying...
This was a really enjoyable, positive and impactful learning event. It was a great way to connect with staff from a diverse range of units in order to hear their perspectives and advice. I greatly appreciate meeting in person and feel much more connected to the institution as a result of the keynote and conference sessions.

found the conference to be a valuable use of their time
I was grateful for the interactive opportunities to network and connect with colleagues, especially as a newer UW employee. I appreciated walking away with tangible tools that I can enact immediately. I have already taken action on several of those management and leadership tools in my workplace.
