Delegate comments

• Very good online conference. Have been to a number and this was by far the best regarding organisation and ease of switching from one presenter to another.
• It was good to listen to the presentations, they were informative.
• Well prepared as always.
• Very good that we keep staying in touch also during Corona, many thanks to the organisers!
• It´s a good compromise to keep connected. But I hope for you and all participants that the physical presence will be possible soon again. The face-to-face meetings and discussions (with your excellent programme) is far better.
• I admire your engagement - well done & hope to see you soon again.
• Good selection of presentations, stable platform. Liked the Zoom Video Talk afterwards... at least a bit of social contact
• The polls in between have strengthened the sense of community. More of these, please.
• Very productive, both selection of topics and quality pf presentations was excellent.
• Very good in these unprecedented time!
• Very good and thank you for organisation. NO negative comments.
• I thought it was well done and well managed. It flowed well, topics were interesting and information was transferred efficiently. It is hard to ask for more than that from a virtual conference. Thanks.
• A real pleasure. Thanks for not giving-up on the conference during the pandemic. Really glad to have participated.
• Excellent content and presentations
• Congratulations, very well organised.
• Beyond my expectations. Congratulations to the Global Gypsum team.
• The presentations and the organisation were professional.
• It was one of the better-organised virtual conferences, the quality of view and sound was good.
• Easy to participate, same valuable info as live conferences. The virtual conference is a good alternative in today’s circumstances but it can simply not replace personal contacts in exhibition booths.
• Excellent format in challenging times. Can't see a better way to pull this off. Nice work.
• Excellent organization
• High quality contents
• Good job and my compliments for all the effort your team put in to achieve this!
• Everything went well, even better than what I though initially. Congratulations.
• It was a good way to ‘survive’ the pandemic being able to adapt to the online way of doing things, however I like more the traditional version :)
• Very good seminar, well planned and time efficient.
