‘… Good balance between inspirational and practical…’

Delegate comments include useful and constructive negative feedback that we will take on board as ever, but :

  • Speakers on Friday were excellent
  • Some great networking opportunities were provided too
  • A great event, many congrats to the organising team and speakers
  • Good balance between inspirational and practical
  • Topical, informative, and inspiring. Excellent presentations
  • thought-provoking, usefully challenging in places, and inspiring throughout.
  • A fantastic day, really interesting speakers and so good to connect with people in person again.
  • Hearing what others are doing which is similar or different to my day to day gives both reassurance and inspiration.
  • Good to visit a new city, being guided by experts, meet with old and new heritage specialists and listen to experts from around the world
  • It must be very hard to set this up and ensure that everything works well. On the whole, it was a very good effort.

IHBC’s Heritage MarketPlace (15 June)

    • Very well organised, great experience!

    • I got in touch with people I had met in the MarketPlace afterwards, and the informal IHBC happy hour was a lot of fun too
    • The format meant we could peek into the room, and ask questions too
    • Highly recommend!
