All presenters were so well-spoken and I really appreciated the time and effort spent on the thoughtful session content. Loved meeting our project manager, the founders, CFO, and other Coursedog staff who I've only met virtually prior to the conference.
Coursedog has done a great job from the very start in listening to users and, from that, you have created a great repository of resources and practices that you were able to pull from for the conference!
Overall, it was a good conference and I learned a lot about Coursedog and met some great people. Having an opportunity to meet with other institutions who are already using Coursedog was also beneficial.
For the first conference it was impactful and full of energy. It was nice to meet individuals you were working with throughout implementation in person.
