ISBI - Events - Testimonial

‘There was an overriding message that we need to be prepared for the future which was very important. I would recommend this conference and hope to go with some colleagues next time.’

‘The whole event ran exceptionally smoothly. Everyone from isbi were friendly and welcoming. There was a nice blend of workshops and seminars and the days went by so quickly!’
 

‘Great opportunity to connect with peers across the country. Really inspirational topics which were thought provoking, more so than other networking events I've seen in the sector.’
