We love to hear from our attendees and their experience with the GOLD Conferences! We strive to make all aspects of the GOLD Conferences enjoyable, from the quality of presentations to the minute technical details. Excitement is in the air during the conference as new and old participants get to interact together online as well as partake in live presentations, all from the comfort of their home of office. Want to share your experience? We’d love to hear from you!
Glad to be back here again. This is a great conference where I can listen to many great speakers on lactation w/o leaving my home country, and can squeeze it in between daily schedules. Too bad not many of my colleagues don't understand the benefit of attending this conference, while not many lactation education available in Indonesia. - A. P.
Thank you for your Gold presentation. It was very interesting to
find out what is going on around the world.
We are proud of our work as part of a small team on LLLGB's Peer Counsellor Programme, and glad that the programme has received such international recognition - M. J.
I think I'm the MOST excited participant at GOLD this year. Looking forward to sitting back and enjoying every single minute. All at Health e-Learning wish Karyn-grace and team a very successful conference. - Denise.
After listening to your presentations I really feel the need to applause you for all the information you gave us ! Love the down to earth style you use ! Just say it like it is. Wouldn't it be great if many other people working in the health care system could here the message that needs to be spread around the world!
I want to give you the GT Award Maureen! (Golden Boob Award is the best translation for GT). This is something I give to mothers, partners and other people if they had to go the extra mile or "just" because they made a difference for other people. - M. R.
I AM having a Happy New Year, thanks, because I am having second listening to the recordings, as I took out the annual membership. You pick up things you missed the second time around - it's something I always do at the Gold breastfeeding conference - so having the extra two weeks means not having to hurry to fit in the consolidatory hearing, which makes it money very well spent. - E. C.
Wow I am just so excited to be here as a conference delegate. Now I can see all the fun and exciting things I've missed for the last 5 years. Karyn-grace and team you've done a wonderful job. Great to see this baby continue to grow and flourish. - D. F.
Thanks so much for the great presentation! It is so nice to hear information that I can use every day! I wish I could spend a day with you in your clinic to learn more, but a trip to Australia is not in my budget - unfortunately!!! So glad to for GOLD12! - C. C.
Nihao from China! So excited to be here and learn so much useful info. A big thanks to all the organizers! - Melanie.
Marsha and Karyn Grace this was an excellent question and answer session. I can listen to this over and over again. It keeps me on my toes and thinking about each and everything I do as an IBCLC to support mothers breastfeeding. Thank you and very nice venue. - K. D.
