All of the lectures have been really great, so informative, really relevant, very realistic with very passionate and engaging speakers.

A really good mix of presentations which were all relevant to role within CDS. I found it interesting to get an idea of what is happening in different parts of the UK. How areas differ but also some good ideas from other areas.
