The sheer practicality and applicability of the examples and experiences that were shared during the Symposium were one of the highlights and the reason that I will keep coming back to every year. There really is no other platform and event that brings together the world’s MSD practitioners in the same way and offers the chance for sharing, learning, networking and growing professionally.
