Comments from some of the conference participants:

Absolutely fantastic.  Thank you!

The venue was super; food was great and the speakers were fantastic.  Great day, well worth it - even on a Saturday.

Very valuable.  Thanks.

Very enjoyable - worth a Saturday

Well done everyone!!!

Info was great and very creatively presented, kept me very interested.

Well organised with staff welcoming and facilitating brilliantly.

An inspirational, exciting (& scary) conference.....ideal location, very well organised.  Relaxing! 

Refreshing to be able to think about learning for its own sake instead of being told what to do in a very narrow context i.e. testing, testing.  Thank you.  Most worthwhile.
