      Never been to one of our conferences?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

      Don\u2019t worry. You\u2019ll fit right in. <\/span><\/p>\n

      Here’s what a handful of recent\u00a0delegates<\/span>\u00a0have had to say:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

      \u201cThe most relevant and useful conference I\u2019ve been to. I do a fairly unique job and other conferences never quite hit the mark but this one was fitting on all counts. From the presentations and easy networking with colleagues in print, photography, design and communications to meeting new suppliers it was interesting, fun and very useful.<\/p>\n

      The venue and medieval themed night were wow, and the awards event gave a fantastic celebration of talent, and the opportunity to gain insight of what peers are working on across the sector.<\/p>\n

      I\u2019ve returned to Glasgow with loads of fresh ideas and contacts. Thank you to everyone on the board for putting together such a professional, friendly, well-considered conference.”<\/p>\n

      \u201cA huge thank you to all the organisers of this year\u2019s Conference.\u00a0This was my first time attending and I was thoroughly impressed with the set-up and organisation throughout. The accommodation, catering, and entertainment were all excellent and created a relaxed environment where everyone could unwind and connect.<\/p>\n

      The conference offered a fantastic opportunity to network with colleagues from other HE and FE institutions, share experiences, and explore some of the common challenges we all face across the sector. I found the talks genuinely useful and engaging, and the workshops provided a valuable space to learn how others have tackled similar hurdles and found practical solutions.<\/p>\n

      Meeting some of the suppliers was also incredibly useful, offering insights into new technologies, processes, and fresh ideas to bring back to our own work.<\/p>\n

      The awards dinner and presentation were a real\u00a0highlight \u2013 showcasing some truly outstanding work from across the sector. It was inspiring to see what others are achieving and a strong reminder of the creativity and dedication within our community. Congratulations to all the winners and highly commended recipients \u2013 your work is amazing and truly inspiring!\u201d<\/p>\n

      \u201cBack to work today after an amazing few days at the Conference. I went to it very sceptical thinking it wasn\u2019t for me as a designer …. I was very wrong!\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      If you deal with print, design, video and photography at a college, council or university it\u2019s worth attending.”\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      \u201cIt was my first visit to the Conference as a new member, and I can honestly say it was so helpful and informative.
      <\/span><\/p>\n

      D<\/span>iscussions were excellent, as I was able to chat informally with colleagues who have real world experience about vendors\u2019 different software solutions and what might work best for my university.\u00a0<\/span>As a direct result of attending the Confernece we will be looking to work with some of the vendors to trial their products. So, it\u2019s a win-win for both the Association and its sponsors. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

      I personally can\u2019t wait for next year\u2019s venue in Scotland.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
