TTRA Europe Conference, April 23 - 25, Nice, France
CONGRATULATIONS ON AN EXCELLENT CONFERENCE IN NICE LAST WEEK.
You have set a new standard in content and organisation.
Well done to you and your organising committee and to all the European Board members for making it such a success. All the delegates I spoke with were high in their praise of the event and it augurs well for both increased membership and the 2008 conference.
I truly enjoyed participating in the conference formal and social programme, made me proud to be a member of the European Chapter – my only regret was that I could not have stayed for the entire event. (Apologies for the delay in sending this note, but I have been ‘on the road’ since I set off from Nice last Tuesday).
Again, congratulations and thank you to you and your team. I look forward to seeing you in Dublin in the near future.
Regards,
Noel
