Comments from some of the participants of the 2012 conference

"I had a fantastic time at the conference....what energy!"

"Thank-you again for organizing such an amazing event, with so many interesting and truly gifted speakers."

"I do not go to many conferences as I do not find them that useful but this one was quite different. I learnt so much last week and came away stimulated and inspired by the speakers. There was also so much practical information."

"An unusual blend of solid technical, management, and policy information but leavened with nonapologetic displays of emotion."

"I was thrilled to come away with more knowledge, inspiration and reassurance to continue moving forward in my design business. It was a great idea to open the conference to a wide spectrum of people in this industry."
