I participated in my first MacFarlane\u2019s seminar in 2016. I really enjoyed meeting people working on the same sector from another part of the world, we have shared a lot our respective experience. The technical presentations were interesting all along the seminar. I would like to thank Bill and his very nice team for this great time.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>

A very positive experience. The speakers were of a very high caliber but spoke in a manner relevant to the audience\u2019s level of experience. Lab sessions were helpful and practical. Hospitality was unsurpassed and the chance to meet and share ideas was invaluable. I would heartily recommend this conference to anyone.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>

I was so impressed with the whole operation especially on how open the staff was about the operation. The attendees were a unique collection of characters with the common thread of the love for birds. I highly recommend the seminar to anyone.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>

This seminar provides an excellent variety of speakers and subjects relative to the gamebird industry. Without this seminar I would not have met and made friends within the industry that have been so helpful to me. Wonderful flow of information.<\/em><\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>
