Testimonials

It was great attending the event, thanks so much. I already added coming back to my to-do list as well as recommended to a bunch of friends.

I was pleased to discover your conference, the presentations were extremely interesting and of very high quality. This quality level is not that frequent!

The event was a success, with a very large number of interactions, with people who are not typically our interlocutors. This made the exchange even more interesting.

A beautiful day, which gave me ideas for project development.

Congratulations for the organisation of this key day!

A very enriching day, quality speakers. Thank you.

Congratulations on the organization. It is great to be able to benefit from such a summary of themes with speakers from outside the French-speaking part of Switzerland.

I would like to congratulate the organization of the event and thanks for the opportunity to be there getting in contact with this new and fascinating area of health.

You are a pioneer in Switzerland, congratulations!
