Previous Delegate Comments
> JUST SOME OF THE COMMENTS FROM DELEGATES ATTENDING A RECENT 'KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE' CONFERENCE...
​​
"Breakouts were sooo useful. The speakers were amazing, I really found the presentations from speakers at ACS so informative and helpful. The speaker from Young V&A was so inspirational also."
​
"Lots of breakouts which was great (as not every breakout is applicable to all attendees) and a good range of keynote speakers covering a wide range of topics."
​
"It seemed very relevant to my job - I am relatively new and therefore have a lot I can still learn. There was a lot of food for thought in the meetings."
​
"I am the only Marketing person in our setting and so it's important (and interesting personally) to see what other schools are doing. It's much more efficient to attend a conference like this than spending days of doing my own research. Even then I wouldn't find the quality of information I have received during the conference."
​
"The schedule was very packed and kept me busy - in a good way. With too much time in between I would probably have gotten sucked in to work and not be as present as I was!"
​
"I am now mapping a new social media strategy in my head! We are also going through a brand refresh so I found the presentations very useful."
​
"Relevant content, chance to share experience and connect to other schools."
​
"Excited to pass on what I have learnt and to discuss lots with my colleagues about the day."
​
"New insights and experience gained!"
​
"I took back home a few ideas that are applicable right away like how to improve my organic communication on social media and how to connect better with the neighbourhood that my school is set in."
​​
"Plenty of content, with knowledgeable and approachable speakers."
​
"I’ve definitely taken away ideas to consider going forward and sharing practice with others in similar roles is helpful."
