It was great attending the event, thanks so much. I already added coming back to my to-do list as well as recommended to a bunch of friends.
I was pleased to discover your conference, the presentations were extremely interesting and of very high quality. This quality level is not that frequent!
The event was a success, with a very large number of interactions, with people who are not typically our interlocutors. This made the exchange even more interesting.
A beautiful day, which gave me ideas for project development.
Congratulations for the organisation of this key day!
A very enriching day, quality speakers. Thank you.
Congratulations on the organization. It is great to be able to benefit from such a summary of themes with speakers from outside the French-speaking part of Switzerland.
