Customer Testimonials

"I would recommend the SUN Conference. It’s a nice forum for people to get to know each other; they are all simulationists at different ends of the spectrum and all points in between. It’s not too big of a conference so that its overwhelming. People can actually mingle and get to know each other.”

Michelle Sergel, MD

“The ability to have the solutions bar available to attendees is a great idea because everyone has questions that are specific to their lab, and to have the expertise all in one place to answer those questions is priceless”.

Peggy Ochoa, RNC-OB, MS

”This is my first SUN Conference, and I’ve been amazed at the quality of the programming and the focus for particularly those who are just getting into the simulation. This is an excellent place to begin to understand what’s out there, what’s available, who the resources are, and where to begin networking so that you can develop simulation in your school or program”.
