"The Raptor SchoolSAFE conference was extremely valuable and well-run. The strong organization of it, the quality content and speakers (the keynote was absolutely one of the best I’ve ever experienced!), the amazing attention to detail that your planning team utilized (everything from the thoughtful amenities in the hotel rooms, to the reminders in the app of where to be and by when for what event, to the delicious and assorted food that was served….) – it was a high-quality conference with a very nice atmosphere."

"The Raptor staff at the conference are so friendly. If you’re standing off to the side, they’ll grab you, bring you over to someone, and introduce you. ‘Family’ is really the word I’d use to describe it, because Raptor makes you feel like part of their family no matter how many of their services you use—or even if you use any at all. They’re always making sure you’re having a good time and learning while you’re here at the conference."

"It’s been a great experience. I welcomed the opportunity to come together, and I think the most remarkable piece—beyond the fantastic sessions—is having so many dedicated professionals all in one place. We get to collaborate and build relationships that have lasted from last year into this year. We continue to share materials and support each other, and it’s not about saying ‘my school is great and we’re doing this.’ It’s really about asking, ‘What are we doing for all kids across states, and how do we make it better?"

"Raptor gives us so many opportunities during breaks and meals to network with different departments, districts, and vendors. I’ve been able to talk with colleagues in the same profession about how they use Raptor and what’s working for them, and even reconnect with people from other conferences who sought me out for help with their own challenges. I love that the connections you make here continue to be valuable long after the conference ends."

"This conference has been great. It has a lot of speakers that you don’t normally hear at these national-type conferences, and I’ve learned a great deal of new things. There’s also been so much networking time, so I’m meeting people from different parts of the country and learning how they’re doing things in their school districts. What’s really nice about that networking is meeting people who understand the responsibility you’re under. They get it, and they say, ‘Yes, I see you. I feel it too."

"The Raptor SchoolSAFE conference was outstanding! From the sessions and the food to the speakers—everything exceeded expectations. It’s going to be incredibly hard to top this experience next year. I’m genuinely impressed by the entire event."

I have to say that the Raptor SchoolSAFE Conference was one of the best conferences I have attended in the past 30 years. Very well done!
