IAPT National Networking Online Forum 2021 - 21st January 2021

The presentations were excellent and the quality of the forum and set up great and so easy to follow and timing excellent.”

“The conference has been far more engaging than in a conference centre. This I think is because of the ability to participate in chat throughout and the use of the breakout discussions.” “Excellent day! Organisation was great - loved the break out rooms for chat. Virtual chat added another really useful way to interact during the day, which isn't available to us at the physical conferences.”
