What the delegates thought:

·        Very well organised with friendly, helpful atmosphere

·        Good topics, good value

·        Very good speakers, very enjoyable, interesting and informative

·        Thank you, another great event

·        First time – will be back

·        It was excellent, and so well attended. I did gain a huge amount from the sessions that I attended, and not only from the speakers, but also from the many friends and colleagues that I had not seen for some time.

·        The conference was magic and I enjoyed every aspect of it. I feel so stimulated and it was really great meeting up with old friends and some new. I hope you will keep up such good work

& the pharmaceutical companies:

·        I certainly thought it was very useful for ourselves to be at the conference and we’ll certainly be looking to do this again next year.

·        I have popped next years date in the diary we will be glad to attend next year, from all accounts here, everyone enjoyed Vet Trust 2010.

& the Speakers:

·        Many thanks indeed for all your organisation and hospitality at the recent Stirling conference.  From my point of view, everything ran very smoothly so thanks again for that.

·        I had a very nice time and enjoyed meeting the other speakers and attendees and staff.  Thank you very much for inviting me.
