A blog by Barbora Marsalkova<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of attending my very first HVMN Conference in Leeds. If you\u2019re from the hospice sector, chances are we may have crossed paths over the past year. Finally getting to meet so many incredible people in person, hear their stories, and share experiences was truly a highlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s conference took place at the beautiful Horizon Hotel in Leeds. The venue was spacious, which was a blessing given the number of sponsors and exhibition stands – no risk of feeling cramped! Our stand had a prime location right next to a coffee machine, which, if you ask me, is a small but significant win.<\/p>\n\n\n

I spent two days immersed in conversations, listening to stories from hospices across the country – their challenges, their worries, but also their wins and hopes for the future. There\u2019s something incredibly inspiring about being in a room full of people so dedicated to making the world a better place. Yes, my social battery was running low by the end of each day, but I left with a renewed sense of hope and excitement for what\u2019s ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lessons learned<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Leaving the event after two days was bittersweet – I only wish it happened more than once a year! But more than anything, I felt grateful to be part of such a passionate and resilient community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each day was packed with insightful speakers who weren\u2019t afraid to tackle big, sometimes controversial, topics. And that\u2019s what made these talks so impactful. They reminded everyone in the room that they\u2019re not alone in their struggles. It\u2019s easy to forget how isolating this kind of work can be until you\u2019re in a space where others openly share the same feelings. The camaraderie in the room was undeniable. It\u2019s no wonder so many people left with big smiles on their faces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From TeamKinetic\u2019s perspective, it was fantastic to see our clients in person and catch up over a coffee. I had the chance to chat with many people, including those who didn\u2019t end up using our system – it was still lovely to check in and see how things were going.<\/p>\n\n\n

Having attended a few conferences during my time at TeamKinetic, I can say that each one has its own unique character. What makes the HVMN Conference stand out is that everyone there is in the same boat. There\u2019s an unspoken understanding, a shared mission, and even the formation of friendships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m already looking forward to next year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
