A selection of quotes from last year's delegates about the 2009 conference (taken from the follow-up survey we ran at the start of February):
- "I thought the conference was one of the best I have ever attended in terms of relevance to my job, new facts learned, affirmation of the importance of my area of work and much more"
- "Great, it has fully changed the way that I think and do my work now"
- "The whole day was really interesting and useful"
- "I enjoyed the conference very much indeed, in particular the cross-section and variety of issues covered by the speakers. It confirmed my own understanding about the importance of the early years"
- "The conference was very informative and gavefood for thought. I will continue to, and have, recommended other colleagues attend future events if possible. Last year was the second conference I have attended and it did not disappoint, especially as I have to travel some distance"
