What participants had to say about Plain Talk 2011:

“ This was one of the best and most useful conferences I've ever attended, especially considering the cost. The value for the dollars spent was incredible. I've attended conferences that cost four or five times more and didn't receive a fraction of the useful information I got here. ”

“ So many experts in the field in one place. ”

“ Thank you again for ‘stretching my brain’ with this conference. ”

“ The content seemed more in-depth than at other conferences I've attended. Health literacy has come of age and attendees are no longer satisfied with broad generalities. We need specifics and I felt that I got more of that at the Plain Talk conference. ”
