The Vatican conference was beyond anything I have ever experienced. The cutting edge content, quality and commentary provided by the speakers was exceptional. … I am profoundly grateful to have been part of it, even if just as a listener and clinician.
The conference in Rome was simply… awe-inspiring. I never would have thought in my lifetime that for one, stem cell therapy would become a real and viable option for healing, but that second, the necessary discussion around it would be hosted at the Vatican. This was the perfect time and location to convene so many of the world’s leading scientists, doctors, advocates and faith leaders to start the global conversation in earnest about “Regenerative Medicine and its Cultural Impact.” I am quite honored to have been included in the conference and found every one of the panels and presentations fascinating. I feel equipped and eager to further along the well-laid conversation.
We were blown away by the program and the quality of participants as well as the coordination of all the events, which made it even more special. … All the comments I have heard have been really positive and none more so than those from the presenters themselves. Everybody I spoke with was really enthusiastic.
As majority leader I have traveled lots of places but never have I had such perfect service, guides, rooms, food and attention to detail. From beginning to end.
What an unforgettable event this was, and I was truly honored to be in the company of such brilliant minds, including Holy Father Pope Francis, Vice President Joe Biden as well as the world-renowned panelists and moderators. … As healthcare leaders, we know the medicine of tomorrow lies in the collaboration of today. Some of the world’s foremost leaders in the field were able to share and discuss breakthroughs in cellular medicine, and I learned a tremendous amount during the conference. … I commend you for producing such an informative conference on such pertinent and critical subjects. It will certainly be an event I will never forget.
The conference was not only a huge success attracting hundreds of delegates, numerous speakers and sponsors who provided great intellectual and social interaction for the participants, but also brought the unique opportunity to interact with the men and women who have dedicated their professional lives to the health of our sons and daughters. There is nothing more powerful than when this community comes together to share ideas, stories, and hope. My involvement was filled with opportunities for personal growth, networking, learning and some fun!
Congratulations. It was superb. What an excellent job… Each event exceeded expectations.
Congratulations on a superb conference at the Vatican. The most meaningful conference I have ever attended.
Unbelievable conference … we were in ultimate awe listening at each speaker with his/her contributions to the field and the entire experience at the conference.
One of the most fascinating programs I have ever attended. It was amazing! Meeting the Pope was incredible!
Truly an incredible and eye opening experience. The venue was terrific and so different from the typical scientific meeting I commonly attend. The mix of journalists, philanthropists, scientists, patients and industry partners created a perspective that I have never seen in any other meeting. I also never realized the potential for the political influence of the Pope and the Vatican in supporting the emerging fields of cellular therapies and regenerative medicine.
The event was unbelievably powerful and will be unforgettable for everyone in attendance. It was one of the most moving, invigorating, provocative and fascinating event that I have ever attended. To say that [it] moved the needle is an understatement. I didn’t talk to a single person who wasn’t truly impressed regarding what they were experiencing. A landmark event that I believe will be recognized as an inflection point for the field.
A truly amazing meeting … the Cellular Horizons conference brought in patient perspectives, ethical, regulatory and access issues by far and aware the best I have ever seen.
It was a magical and mesmerizing experience both on professional and personal fronts.
Thank you for the fantastic experience! It was truly out of this world. Lots of memories to cherish!
I left Rome feeling not only incredibly inspired but hopeful and re-energized with the future of regenerative medicine as it relates not only to Type 1 [Diabetes] but so many other autoimmune diseases. It was truly an honor for us to have been included.
What a great conference! Congratulations on a successful event.
It was a spectacular event … and it ran flawlessly.
Really outstanding. This was the best conference I have been to in many years. Congratulations!
Great conference. We all had many quality discussions and learned a lot. It was a terrific experience.
A truly spectacular meeting. The science, advocacy, participants, venue and attention to detail were all outstanding.
The three days were fantastic, full of inspiring moments and “break my mind innovations.” It was a big pleasure, being a contributing part of your conference. The whole meeting was so well organised and a unique exchange of knowledge and remarkable speeches where medicine should go and which place stem cell therapy should have in the future. I can’t express enough in words how I felt during the three days – astonishing.
The science [at the conference] was spectacular on many fronts. … From beginning to end it was an incredible success. Congratulations!
It was an inspiring experience. So glad we could add to the conversation.
The most incredible conference. From the venue, the amazing program, the clinicians, the researchers, and the government officials it was truly outstanding!!! This will be a game changer for patients and the future for cancer and regenerative medicine.
The conference was a true master piece. What I like the best is that it included everyone from researchers to physicians, to company managements, regulatory authorities and patients. The sequence of panels and presentations this year flowed beautifully, literally creating a narrative each day.
I attend many meetings every year, and this one was so exceptional that I felt that I needed to thank you for your vision and work in organizing it and for giving me the honor of participating in it. … I was deeply impressed with the quality of thought and feeling that went into the conference and the role of the Pontifical Council for Culture. … I left the meeting with great hopes for the transformation that will come from the ideas and understanding shared there, and deeply moved by the extraordinary people who are working to create this change.
Congratulations on a wonderful and exceptional conference and the tremendous impact that conference has accomplished in making the world a better place for all! God’s mercy was readily evident. From a personal perspective, it was one of the highlights of my career and life. I was greatly touched both spiritually and professionally. … Thank you for allowing us to have platform to advocate for the children of the world who are suffering with cancer and other diseases.
The event was remarkable. It was truly motivational.
Most impressive program, speakers and the best event yet.
A magnificent international stage for the collaboration and advancing the regenerative medicine into a practical cure and saving human life. … The knowledge learned from the Vatican Conference will lighten the pathway for our future basic and clinical studies.
