Delegate Testimonials
I recently attended an incredible RTM Conference that left me inspired and motivated. From the moment I walked into the panel discussion, I could feel the energy and excitement buzzing in the air. The speakers were top-notch, each one sharing their expertise and passion for their topics. Overall, the conference was a truly transformative experience.
As a first-time attendee/speaker at the 2024 Spring School Facilities and Safety Conference, I was pleased of how well the conference ran, the networking opportunities available and being able to see where various regions within the Country are with their school safety and facilities initiatives.
Great experience. Quality sessions with speakers who have been in the trenches and can share their experiences and lessons learned. Overall, an excellent opportunity and learn and grow in our profession.
My experience at this conference was great i like the concept of short sessions and timed vendor/business partner meetings. Everyone's attention is kept and your not stuck in conversations that your not interested in. -
