What Leaders Are Saying


What Leaders Are Saying


Hugh Henderson - Capstone Hospice

“This is a conference of leaders and decision makers in our industry. We get down to real topics and real problems in our industry very quickly. There isn’t a lot of ego here, people are very willing to share their mistakes in order to help others.”

 

Jenna Grimes - Paradigm Health

“All the topics we discussed today were fresh, engaging, and completely applicable to what we do on a day to day basis. This is not like other conferences.”

 

Monica Trust - Guiding Light Hospice

“I’ve gone to the big conferences and they are not like the SONO Symposium. Everyone here is welcoming, open, and collaborative. I benefit more going here than any other conference.”
