Thank you for joining SWPONL for the 2020 Annual Conference!

       

Final Program

A special note of gratitude to the Board and Conference Planning Committee for their commitment and efforts to deliver this important educational opportunity as we pivoted to this virtual delivery. The Education and Membership Committees work together to review feedback from attendees and to plan for future trends. 

The Conference reviews are in and the some of the feedback includes
“This was one of the best conferences I have attended. Each speaker was excited to present and all topics were relevant to what is going on in the world today.”

“Overall, this was an excellent virtual conference. This exceeded my expectations and I thoroughly enjoyed the experiences that you provided... I think there were some great ideas to be gained from doing the conference virtually, such as the poster presentations and even with the guest speakers….Thank you for a great 2 days.”

“Great speakers and nicely organized. There was not one technical glitch, which is amazing. Great job!”

Really enjoyed the format for the poster presentations using this virtual format. It made you feel very "connected" to those presenting. I also found the virtual visits with the vendors a very engaging part of the conference - I was able to make anew connection that will potentially help with a need. This was so well done - far exceeding my expectations...”

“The panel of EXPERTS… were phenomenal.”

“All speakers were well prepared and presented relevant topic content. I loved the forum!!”

“Overall, excellent conference! The virtual platform was easy to use and allowed for interaction with others. Loved the chat rooms and ability to use Q&A. Great job and thanks to all!”

“…It is so meaningful to hear from nursing leaders within our organizations.”
