"I have to admit to shying away from the initial invitation to host a Deputy Heads meeting. The thought of organising something like this on top of the day to day role, concerned me greatly. However, once we spoke to the Portal team and they explained how the day would work and the input the Portal could provide, it became apparent that this was something that could happen by working together, with the Portal team taking on the majority of the workload. The Portal worked closely with us to ensure all the organisational logistics were in place and provided us with a bespoke itinerary, offering advice and expertise to ensure the day ran smoothly. When organising something like a conference, there is always a nagging doubt that other
|
delegates might not enjoy or wholly engage in the content. David and the Portal team sourced speakers whose expertise provided a great learning experience for us all. When the delegates make a point of coming up to you and thanking you for an interesting and useful day, you know you got it right."
