Post Event Comments:
“I can quite honestly assess the day as the most interesting conference I have attended on the subject of business and SD. The presentations were all very different but all uniformly interesting. I found the focus on integrating sustainable development into the business as opposed to ‘spinning’ it extremely encouraging. The consensus that we are at, or close to, a tipping point, and the message that SD must be at the core of business were particularly powerful to me”
“Excellent Summit”
“Excellent content of topical critical subject. Good speakers”
“The quality of the speakers and their knowledge of the subject matter was excellent. The Panel format in particular worked well”
“Thank you for a very interesting and stimulating conference”
“Excellent range of topics. Excellent speakers. Excellent coverage of strategy/application. Excellent facilities/catering”
“Liked the format of Panels and the fact that panellists did know what they were talking about – refreshing to get away from PowerPoints!”
“A good day covering a difficult subject”
“Excellent and informative day. All speakers relevant to my business sector. Good venue”
“All round very good”
“You have demonstrated that BCSD-UK can organise and deliver a truly top quality event which we can build on. A good showcase for BCSD-UK with really excellent speakers”
“Interesting day. Very well presented”
“Interview panel format was good but would be better to open up to audience and encourage earlier participation rather than waiting until the end of the day. More female speakers would be welcome, male bias was noticeable”
“Excellent speakers – good range of topics but the message urgently needs to be relayed to businesses and more importantly the policy makers”
“Turn this into Master Classes that have a powerful action plan that will be implemented”
“Very interesting and the Panel question sessions never became a chore as sometimes happens”
“Great event – reached a little beyond the usual suspects (very hard to achieve). Interviewer did a great job. Passion and opportunity came across well”
“Liked the panel discussion format – good range/depth of questions. Perhaps could have been fewer over the day”
“Interesting, but too brief an overview of individual topics (time limited)”
“Disappointing not to have political representation – that is where much of the challenge remains”
“Found the construction sector very useful. Would like to see more on education strategies. Found panel talks very useful”
“Excellent format. Particularly liked the panel discussions. I learned a lot!”
“Very good standard of speakers with excellent diversity of content. Q&A section well chaired. Well done!”
“My colleagues and I thought the day was very worthwhile and well put together”
“A cause for congratulations for BCSD-UK in Scotland: Well done!”
“Many thanks for yesterday and congrats on the organisation. I thought the programme worked really well and the panel sessions were a novel and interesting approach”
