Feedback
Feedback from last year’s conference:
- Unlike other employment law conferences which provide a somewhat superficial overview of topic areas, this conference always provides high quality speakers and papers which demonstrate excellent knowledge and subject matter expertise.
- The range of topics were relevant, interesting and the presenters were obviously very knowledgeable in their field of expertise. I have come away with so many thoughts, actions and reflections.
- I believe the topics and variety of presentations/presenters, were able to add value to many industries. The topics were well planned and covered enough content to ensure the conference was both informative, extremely relevant and fresh. I would recommend the conference to others.
- Love this conference every year. I always leave with a sheet of notes of 'to dos' - very practical and well put together.
