2011 Conference - Rising from Recession
Here are some of the comments we have received from other delegates;
Great to catch up with you again, many thanks for all your hard work in putting on another first class conference.
Thank you. Great job!
I enjoyed it too and I think the conference turned out to be very useful in a number of ways. And well done you too! It all went off very smoothly which was great to see.
The students had a great time and I hope lerant a great deal about the realities of business!
I did enjoy the conference and it felt like a worthwhile couple of days. It was good to meet up with such a range of people.
and a big well done again for setting up such a good event!!..........
Likewise, I thought the conference as a whole was excellent - I'm sorry I missed the Friday morning but I know Donna found it interesting and we have some follow-ups to make now!
The conference was very useful, I made a number of useful contacts.
There wasn’t an opportunity to comment on the facilities but, have attended nearly every Fusion conference, I thought that these were the best facilities so far. Particularly since the cost of accommodation was very reasonable. The conference itself was also the best so far – I’m not sure why, probably just the blend of workshops and the networking.
Conference was the best Fusion one I have been to, & made a few new contacts and several useful leads on stuff I'm doing.
Thanks for taking the time to follow-up. I enjoyed the conference very much and found a couple of the sessions particularly interesting and worthwhile. I have made several leads which I followed up today and hopefully can build upon.
I had a great time and definitely made some good contacts. I have a few meetings to set up tomorrow once I am in the office.
I see what you mean about my session however I did take it as well intended and have been thinking about my approach from now on. Thanks and well done for a great conference.
Thanks for the follow up. Was nice to see you again, along with a lot of other familiar Fusion faces, & some new ones aswell. The Thursday was certainly good, & just a shame that I couldn’t stay for the dinner & Friday. Hopefully next year. I definitely got the feeling that Fusion had been reinvigorated, so congrats to all involved for that.
Although I only made it to the Friday because of other commitments on Thursday I did enjoy it and hear the Thursday was equally successful. Well done to you and Mark for the quality of the organisation and the speakers.
Great Energy, Good Fun, Serious Learning,
How do I win new business? how do I find new clients? how do I do export?
"Know how" from real businesses with real insights. Happy to help each
other!
