EUFMC Attendees Say
The environment at EUFMC was more professional than most organizations and the staff was more than willing to accommodate attendees with any information or assistance. I found the events to be excellent, highly disciplined, and orderly, classes and discussions provided very important refreshers for me, the motivational speaker was by far the most superior I’ve had the pleasure of hearing, the entertainment was very well coordinated, and the meals were exquisite. I also reconnected with attendees that I had not seen or spoken to in many years. This event did not disappoint.
