Conference Feedback has been positive……….

  • Excellent conference – thanks for all your hard work in making this the successful event it always is
  • Paper 3 was an excellent overview of the legal issues involved in acquisition – will hope to take up some further questions with the speaker; Paper 4 was particularly good in terms of project managing a task that we are all too happy to pretend won’t happen too soon; Paper 5 was excellent and timely as we are just about to implement RFID more widely; Paper 8 was succinct and thought provoking and I look forward to following the Blog.
  • Again an excellent array of speakers – good mix of subjects
  • This was my first NAG conference although I have sent other staff in the past. It was a good opportunity  to network with people I knew already and to meet new people. Hopefully I shall be able to implement some of what I learned from the papers
  • Thoroughly enjoyable and very useful!
  • I really enjoyed it. A good location….
  • The conference was hugely beneficial for me………. Thanks again for such a fantastic conference.
  • ………. high standard of presentations/workshops. I found it all very well run and very interesting.

 

 

The social side was not overlooked, with the customary Gala Dinner followed by the (in)famous NAG Quiz
