Host South East Branch School committee Chair – and Thursday Retrofit webinar organising Chair – Jo Saady said: ‘I am so pleased with how the whole event went, and particularly want to reiterate thanks to all the Branch members who gave their valuable time helping put the event together.’’

- A brilliant couple of days. Well done to the HQ team for putting together.
- Thoroughly enjoyed Jan Gehl and co. Really great discussion.
- Despite the success of the virtual School I am looking forward to getting back in the same place as everyone. However, keeping some virtual opportunities might increase the number of people who attend especially international delegates. I appreciate this is a balancing act with making sure delegates don’t choose this option over attending in person.
- Well done…
