Overall fantastic. Excellent to see something like this back on the calendar. Well done to TRC for getting it up and going
Very good event, it is rare that you get some many like minded and passionate people in one place keen to share ideas and knowledge. Well done!
We had a wonderful time at the conference. Organisers, hotel and catering staff were so friendly and welcoming. Really great to network with people from around Aus, NZ and further abroad. Location was excellent. Loved it and found it a real insight into the current pulse of the trail industry.
Conference met my expectations and was delivered and facilitated professionally.
