An event was held on an island with 100 interested people attending over multiple days. It included 10 speakers from different fields, discussions, workshops, and activities like cider tasting. Feedback from attendees praised the quality and diversity of speakers, the removed environment that allowed conversations to continue, and feeling like a retreat from daily pressures. Plans were announced for another event over 3 days in July 2017 with more time for talks, workshops, and reflection.

“Send your best people. You won’t regret it”

14. “The quality and diversity of the speakers was stunning”
“It was fantastic not to be presented to
by media/creativity/digital experts”
“The speakers were intelligent, opinionated, articulate and passionate”
“The range of speakers, all doing amazing
things, but in fields and in ways that were
unexpected. Proper out of the box content!”
“The speakers were much more diverse and
therefore more interesting than anywhere I've
been to before”

15. “The best conference I have ever been to. Like a famous five
adventure with inspirational speakers and great guests”
“I fell in love with the venue. I felt like an 8 year old
again on the best summer holiday I'd ever had”
“The location - just gorgeous!”
“I loved outdoor learning environment and
the opportunity to bond with my team”
“Community spirit, long breaks between talks”
“The environment was fantastic, it made it easier to
continue the conversation after each talk and got us
out of the ‘business as usual’ mind-set”

16. “Sense of being removed from day to day
world/pressures, interesting interludes (cider,
bread making)”
“Location such a change, physically being on an
island definitely has a plus side! the relaxed and
informal setting made it much easier to chat, share
ideas etc”
“The mix of free time with educational talks”
“There was enough time to reflect
in your own way on the workshops/
talks which was important”
