I can’t begin to thank you enough, EQRC was amazing! I was nervous, and I didn’t want to attend because I didn’t think I’d cope being with strangers for 3 days, but I am grateful I went and I’m super excited for next year, as I no longer feel nervous, knowing I’ll have people to talk to and hang out with next year puts me at ease! Thank you for what you guys have done.
