What People Say

The Connex meetings I have attended have been excellent. There is a great mix of pharma, insurers and advisors/consultants that results in multiple discussion lenses. The presentations respect the various backgrounds of the stakeholders, not too technical but beyond introductory. Denise is always there to interject with commentary/questions that breaks up the presentations and keeps them fresh. I have certainly benefited from our involvement and participation and would highly recommend the sessions she delivers as well as the BPHA program.

Connex courses both online and in person provide great, broad information on a range of important benefits issues. The in person courses are very well run. Online courses are convenient and provide a leading option for Canadian benefits professionals for ongoing training. I would highly recommend Connex!

Denise's detailed knowledge of the private insurance issues and key players enables her to provide programming that is unsurpassed in terms of value for money and quality of information and speakers. Her well attended Breakfast Club meetings are highly interactive and engaging, and continually introduce the audience to important players in the industry by thoroughly examining the right issues with the right people.
