What past delegates said about BEST:

  • There was a really great mix of topics and they were the right length. Sometimes they are too long/short, no goldilocks here!
  • Excellent speakers and BEST is exceptional for networking opportunities.
  • The keynote speakers were fantastic, the location for the conference was absolutely stunning. 
  • The size of the conference was really perfect for networking and there were multiple opportunities to do so. A very enjoyable and productive conference.
  • It was my first time attending, I will attend next year’s conference.
  • Overall, very well organized and enjoyable.
