6. Feedback from event attendees
I’ve received many thank yous from clients over the years but this is
my favourite
Dear Events Team,
Million Thanks for such an OUTSTANDING event.
I attended many events and workshops for the last three years, and
I want to say it was THE BEST - for it's organisation and combination
of services.
I wish now that all events would have such a high level of standard.
It' is OUTSTANDING: such as running in parallel two workshops,
having stands ready to answer our questions during whole event (!),
having tea/scones/etc ( that we can refresh and recharge ourselves
at any time), inviting Dermatologica for skin examination (!), having a
panel of Experts and servicing us with drinks while we were
networking (!).
By such outstanding coordination and organisation, just during five
hours:
- I met a few potential clients and business partners;
- Attended all workshops and presentation, by learning a few new
approaches that would benefit my business;
- Made connections for further business opportunities;
- Presented my business for 1 minutes, and received a very positive
feedback;
- Get answers to my questions re: tax; business space and publishing
my articles.
- and also, have had my skin examination by lovely professional who
gave me a pack of specific skin products for my skin needs.
Please do not be jealous:)
Please pass my BIG thanks and gratitude to all Staff.
Kind regards,
Nelia
