"We received the following statement about the Executive Assistant National Congress 2007 from one of the attendees. "Great conferences are made by having great speakers. Thanks for filling yours with so many great presenters". This praise echoed the vast majority of sentiments we received about our event and which we could not have achieved without professional presenters like Catherine Palin-Brinkworth. Catherine was a huge hit with all attendees and shone in a programme in which it was hard to be a stand-out. Thank you so much to Catherine and her team for all their hard work and professionalism and hopefully we will have the opportunity to work with you again soon."
