Some comments on HCPC-Europe's Conference 2008

"The conference did meet most of my overall expectations. It surely helped me to start some discussions inside our company concerning compliance and how much we're doing for it.... The organisation was perfect. Not to mention the kind way of reception, the lovely dinner and relaxed atmosphere throughout the whole event as well as the perfect location."
Juan A. Fernandez Noya, Account Manager, Palladio Industrie Grafiche Cartotecniche S.p.A.


"Overall the conference met my expectations very well. I can see it grow in the future towards a forum where various parties involved with compliance can discuss viewpoints, strategies, possibilities in a constructive meeting. It was very beneficial to include a presenter from patient organisation and from pharma companies."
