‘kon gres 2009 proved to be a wonderful opportunity for networking, for learning and for being invigorated. Participants responded with enthusiasm to the invitation to participate actively. Throughout there was a buzz of energy and enjoyment. What participants liked best “The way the conference was constructed so that conversations started early.” High calibre of presentations “High quality presenters.” What would you like to be different? “Repeating some workshops so more people can attend.”
We are still processing and distilling the feedback we received, so there is more to come. You can continue to benefit from ‘kon gres – through Update and the ‘kon gres website >> Thank you to all who participated, chaired sessions and presented. View the “thank you slide show” to see just how many people helped to make this the success that it was. >> Thank you too for the very kind and generous feedback that you have given as well as ideas on how to make the next conference even better.
