Some of the fantastic feedback about the Edge2010 conference

” I was delightfully surprised at the breadth and depth of the agenda”.

“I’m not sure what my expectations were really, I suppose as this was an inaugural conference they weren’t particularly high, as I expected there would be some teething problems along the way. However, nothing could have been further from the truth. The whole conference was very well organised with a really warm and welcoming atmosphere which encouraged easy networking and debate amongst delegates”.

“The choice of speakers and the themes were really well thought out and planned, as was the order of speakers for each day. This created a cohesive programme for the two days. I thought all of the speakers were individually excellent….”
