Why Organise
Events?
“I simply wanted to thank you, on behalf of our network for arranging such an
excellent event yesterday. The balance of keynote speakers, and workshops in
the learning zones was pretty much spot on and the exhibition space and
networking area excellent. The delegate pack was highly informative and
useful.
The organisation and lead-in to the event was excellent and I don't think you
could have done much more in terms of publicity - hopefully you were pleased
with the eventual turn-out. You even managed to attract a fair few folk from
England-shire!
Many of the delegates I left with were literally 'buzzing' - and that is the sign
of a good event.
You did Scotland proud (again)”
“The standard just keeps getting better and better. Without a doubt,
Scotland's premier social enterprise conference of the year and by some
distance”.
