Some delegate feedback from the London & Doncaster seminars:

"Just wanted to thank you for the digital inclusion seminar yesterday. I thought it was pitched just right and was right to focus on the non-techy IT aspects. Suppliers should focus more on cause and effect rather than just selling. If suppliers demonstrate an understanding of issues facing the sectors in which they wish to sell they promote confidence in the solutions they provide". 

"Very interesting and very helpful"

"Very helpful to consider future-proofing and useful to hear what other HA's are doing"

"Very useful and informative - got a lot from this speaker!"

"Thought provoking"
