Encore, Hilton Head

Meeting review by Christina

Meeting Date: 2018

Meeting location:  Hilton Head

Meeting sponsor: Encore Symposiums

Strengths of the meeting:

I am writing to thank you for putting together a great conference. All four lecturers were fantastic with such relevant and fascinating topics.

In particular I really enjoyed Mark Welliver and Matthew Zinder. Mark is a fantastic teacher, and I felt like I really refreshed my pharmacology and got a lot of my next-level questions answered.

Matt very generously discussed very difficult topics. It was clear that the issues he spoke with are very personal and important to him, and I could tell that he really hoped that his lectures might help someone either currently or someday. That meant a lot!

I would really like to extend a thank you to both of them in particular.

Value for the money:  Great value for the money.  Excellent speakers, great location and an amazing breakfast every day.

Palm springsMeeting review by JD and LB

Meeting Date:  2/22/2017

Meeting Location:  Palm Springs, CA

Meeting sponsor:  Encore Symposiums

Strengths of the meeting: 

JD: I thoroughly enjoyed the meeting as well as the speakers.  The topics were especially relevant to me and were presented by energetic speakers.  The location was exceptional and I enjoyed the resort atmosphere.

Thanks for another great conference.  I’ll be back next year!

LB: Encore always does a great job. The speakers are always interesting with topics that are current and relevant. Most , if not all , of this meeting’s content applied to my current position. I also gained useful tips for a family member with chronic pain.
The locations for all of Encore’s meetings are very nice. My family enjoys coming along to each place. Nancy also does a very nice job with the first night meet and greet. Families are always included and it is really nice especially after traveling all day.
An Encore rep is available at each meeting for questions or clarifications.

Value for the money:   LB: All conferences have gone up in price but the facilities are always top notch, the food delicious and the clinical info always good. The resorts are also good for the families that must hang out while the CRNA is busy. So, yes, I think it is good value for the money.
