"Confluence has got to be the deal of the century as professional development conferences go!
I attend several each year and find that the value of Confluence is by far the best. First, the educational sessions are top notch and the speakers top of their class. The motivational speakers are always inspiring and I never fail to find some great material to take back to my staff. Finally, the camaraderie of seeing friends, new and old, sharing news and sharing ideas is priceless. I always bring as many members of my staff as I can and find that it is highly beneficial to them as well."
Peter Grubb, ROW Adventures
