Thank you!
We would like to thank all our speakers and guests for making this year's event an outstanding conference! We worked hard on delivering a high quality programme built on the theme "Initiating Change" at the WTC in Rotterdam, and we exceeded our expectations.
We received close to 500 guests, a record number. We thank the 240 people that returned the evalation form and gave us an average overall score of 8.44, slightly higher than last year.
But in the end, we couldn’t have done this without you, our guests. We talked, argued, and had fun with old friends and new people. It's the relations that form during these few days and the opportunities for cooperation that present themselves that make it all more than worthwhile.
We are really proud we made this symposium happen!
Lastly, thank you for your positive feedback! We feel that many aspects of the symposium were exactly right. At the same time, you gave us plenty of points to improve as well. This will keep up sharp. A selection of your feedback:

Yours sincerely,
