Attending the AscendX Conference was a game-changer. I discovered so many technical features of the Sonar and SQ.track system I never knew existed and learned revolutionary strategies that will transform my daily work. But what stood out most was the people, connecting with others and realizing that the challenges I face aren't unique. Knowing I’m part of a larger community tackling the same issues has been truly inspiring.

Out of my 21 years in Sterile Processing, this has been the best conference I have attended so far. I gained valuable new insights at this conference that I’m eager to share with my team and leaders. The networking opportunities were incredibly beneficial, providing fresh perspectives as a manager. I’m particularly excited about the innovations Ascendco introduced, especially in analytics. While I already use the platform, the conference's sessions highlighted capabilities I hadn’t fully explored, and I’m looking forward to leveraging them more effectively.
