Reflecting on an Incredible Year with P3 Events

What a year it has been for P3! We are thrilled to share the success of our events in 2023, where we hosted three half-day sold-out conferences at ADHA, Indigo, and Mid-Continent, as well as a three-hour session at GNY. To top it off, our full-day sold-out P3 event at the annual MD gathering was another incredible milestone. Together, these events brought us face-to-face with over 250 attendees, and we couldn’t be happier with the results!

This year marked an exciting evolution for P3 as we introduced interactive stations into our programming. The feedback was phenomenal—attendees absolutely loved this new feature. While we’re proud of these accomplishments, we’re always listening and improving, fine-tuning each event based on evaluations to keep delivering the best experience possible. One thing is clear from the feedback—we’re hearing a strong demand for more hands-on instrumentation, and we’re ready to rise to the challenge. Stay tuned, we’ve got exciting things ahead!

What Attendees Are Saying

We are incredibly grateful for the kind words and positive feedback from our attendees this year. Here’s what some participants have shared about their P3 experience:

•    I really liked all of the information and passion that both Dr. Joy and Dr. Bill brought to P3. You could absolutely tell hat both research everything in depth and love sharing the information that they know. I also liked the scheduling of the event. Having stations in between presenting material really helped break up the day. Lastly, I also really appreciated that so many instruments/materials were brought for us to try. As a covid graduate, I feel as though I missed out on opportunities to try new tools right out of school, so this was a great opportunity to do so… HME
•    I absolutely LOVE that the trainers were approachable, knowledgeable, helpful and willing to explain or share their experiences/knowledge. We’re never too seasoned to learn a new technique or obtain knowledge to improve our skill set. … JF

Testimonials like this fuel our passion and reaffirm our commitment to bringing excellence to every P3 event.
