The conference was clearly a great success, judging by the feedback I have heard. "Great conference" and "fantastically organised" were among the compliments made.

You are really nice and easy person to work with; economical with words and results orientated. I don't often hug people!

FRCA

Coming home, I was reflecting about the conference and I knew that it was the best one we have had yet since 1982. The problem is that each time we put a conference together, our goal is to make the next one better than the last one. I really don't want to imagine trying to make the next one better than this one.
