Here is some of the feedback from last year, this year is going to be even better
A fantastic event catching up with friends old and new. Collaboration is key to providing the best possible service for bereaved people, and our event is a perfect example of what it looks like to come together and celebrate this. Thanks to all the delegates, staff and suppliers and see you all again soon.
Also to say thank you for an excellent event. It made a welcome change for a recent event to be commercially worthwhile and really enjoyable. Not easy in these times. Thank you again
Thank you for all the hard work that went into making the convention it was really enjoyable
and I got a lot out of it...
Great conference. Excellent work.
