As always, great networking, some useful sessions and lots of new ideas

A very enjoyable conference. As a first timer to SEDA I found it to be an
environment that positively encouraged discussion and sharing of views and
ideas at all levels

Valuable again - for fresh ideas and quiet reflection. I've made new contacts and
re-affirmed older links. It's been good! Thank you

A new conference contributor recently wrote:
I attended last year and was thoroughly impressed and found it extremely useful. I'm impressed
all over again that someone from the committee is making contact to provide some support
for first time presenters – I've never struck that before with any other group!
