"A *MASSIVE THANK YOU* to you and all of the team who worked so hard this weekend to make the event such a huge success. For me, the opportunity to network with – and learn from – other senior-level buyers was brilliant! Sometimes it’s so hard to see past your own office front door, and talking with, and sharing experiences with buyers who have the same day-to- day experiences, regardless of company or event types, was invaluable."

"It was a great event at which I made useful contacts, both suppliers and buyers. I particularly enjoyed the Friday afternoon discussion session; it’s always so interesting to hear different/similar experiences across the industry (really pleased to hear that I’m not the only one who’s fallen foul of the ‘joint first hold’ issue). If you have any of these sessions running in the future I’d love to hear about them.

Got a few venue viewings booked in over the next couple of weeks so fingers crossed these turn out to be fruitful!"

"Still buzzing from The BNC Forum. Came back into work today and I swear I left my brain on the balcony in Tenerife!

A huge thank you to you all for the invite and for well organised event; I couldn’t fault any of it. I have met some amazing people, some I hope to do future business with and others I hope to stay in contact with.

The discussions were spot on and very interesting."

"It was fantastic to meet so many great suppliers (venues in particular) and I am already arranging follow up meetings with many of them – a really worthwhile event."

"It was lovely to meet you at the weekend thank you so much to you and the team for your great organisation and making me feel so welcome and looked after! I really enjoyed the weekend and have definitely come away having learnt a lot and met some great contacts."

"Such an amazing event! I’ve made some great connections for projects we have coming up, and of course met with some amazing people too!"
