Delegate comments

• Rarely have I come away from a conference feeling invigorated and motivated to take something forward. A useful and fantastic day. Thank you! A great networking opportunity too.
• Relevant seminar for our current needs to explore and inform strategy moving forward.
• Events such as this need to build a momentum and not just act as one-off events.
• Iceni was particularly interesting. A joint venture with almshouse charities of the same size is an alternative to the Almshouse Consortium.
• Good range of speakers and topics. Good style for annual conference!
• The smalls group could look to innovation in development – either through group finance initiatives, modular build and possibly links with Europe.
• Excellent event and hope to attend more similar events in the future.
• Relevant, topical, well judged.
• A very positive and informative event and very useful networking. Much food for thought.
• Excellent. More detailed session on development – the options appraisal model and the collaborative approach to finance.
