Marci's presentations are an enlightening experience. I had heard Marci present several times before so, as President of the Programme Committee, I knew we must have her keynote for the 2nd International Congress for Innovation in Health in Natal Brazil. As expected, she showed what is possible with great examples from across the globe and motivated participants to transform their workplaces and lives. I plan to have Marci keynote in the future. - Carlos Alberto Oliveira
