“Definitely worth the price to attend. I actually want to have this available every year, so having it on-demand is perfect.” -workshop attendee

“I thought the workshop was great! At the conference, they covered a wide variety of topics, but I got the most out of a long day looking at just one topic that is crucial to the success of the company- odor. The workshop was well put together with a good balance of expert knowledge and interesting stories from people who have experienced problems with odor.” -workshop attendee
