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.
