Conference evaluation
 |
Some of the 80 delegates from 12 countries The CCL2004 conference had 80 registered delegates from 12 countries and 15 local attendees, mainly from the University of Surrey. We have received very positive feedback, both spoken and in e-mails, and it certainly seems that the conference struck the right balance and was enjoyed by all. Typical comments have been: An excellent event that I personally found most enlightening. It was a pleasure to attend such an inspiring conference. Right size, good level of discussion and ... holding it in an academic environment was good - much preferable to hotels which never seem that serious. Your challenge is to make potential delegates understand how good this conference really is. Can you thank everyone that was involved in the organisation. Everything went extremely well from our viewpoint and we gained a lot from the event. (from an exhibitor). |
My 'special' memories of CCL2004 in Guildford include: several outstanding
lectures that drew prolonged applause from the audience, lively discussion
sessions with a very informed and participative audience and quality time for
networking. There was a marked 'buzz' in the concourse during the breaks and I
know that the exhibitors appreciated having their stands close to the
refreshments and the action.
