Feedback from this year's
first virtual IWD event:
"Wow! What a fantastic two days! There was something for everyone, heaps of information, plenty of tips that we could take away and implement straight away, and best of all an amazing group of people, all genuinely supportive of one another and keen to help each other''.
"A very inspiring 2 days and I'm so glad that I took the time out of work to attend. This has been very beneficial - I feel so much happier and lighter heading in to the weekend. Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart''.
"The organisation was fantastic, energy levels remained high right through the two days and the time went so quickly. The networking opportunities were great too. Honestly it was the best online event I have been too - even the awards ceremony felt special. Thank you guys - another fantastic success xx''.
And from one of our male delegates:
"Sandra, I absolutely LOVED your conference last week, thank you so much for allowing me to be part of it. I can say honestly the best conference I have been to in decades :-)''.
