WHO ATTENDS
Giving yourself time at the congress - to meet, listen, think and digest without worrying about rushing off to the next thing or hurrying home is a rare and valuable experience for a CEO.
An excellent event which allowed in depth discussions around high interest topics with like minded peers.
A great mix of training, debate and networking. The sessions gave a lot of food for thought and highlighted some great best practice advice and guidance.
A real eye opener as to the range of services offered by suppliers and innovative practice from subject matter experts. Well worth the time attending.
A great opportunity to realise what best practice could look like, learn from others how they got there, and commiserate over the challenges faced.
The range and variety and depth of knowledge and experience and alternative perspectives to common issues and opportunities means that you will experience thought leadership in every session.
Supportive, clarifying and thought-provoking. I'd definitely look to attend again.
A great forum for networking, learning, sharing with active engagement from all.
In depth sessions with energetic leaders, left me feeling motivated and excited about what we could achieve for our association. Excellent networking with other societies and suppliers. It was a two and a half days out of the organisation but it was time well spent.
A very enjoyable event where the networking opportunities were well-balanced with the main content of the event.
Such a valuable and inspiring event. The topics, the other attendees and the ideas make it the first event in my calendar every year!
The best opportunity to network with other association executives, share ideas and work on your business - not in it.
The longer sessions gave great opportunities for in-depth discussions on our most pressing challenges whilst learning from a great peer group.
You can guarantee to see like-minded senior contacts from other Associations, with common themes, issues and challenges.
An excellent couple of days discussing issues facing the sector, sharing experiences and networking.
Every session was a learning opportunity that provides insight into leadership challenges within Associations.
Enjoyable and educational, particularly the opportunity to network with other association officers and suppliers. The format worked well, especially the interaction during sessions, which made a good change from just being talked at.
Really enjoyed it - networked with peers, met useful supplier contacts and gained a lot from the sessions.
Great opportunity to meet leaders from a broader range of associations to learn from them, share ideas and to benchmark our own activities. Also very useful to be able to meet new suppliers and scope out alternative ideas with them.
The appointments to meet with suppliers was helpful, as it ensured you got to see those that you really wanted to.
