“We have been impressed with the degree of organisation and the professionalism displayed by your team”
- NZ Parole Board
Robyn did a fabulous job providing the support and organisational systems in the months leading up to the conference. She advised the conference planning committee, guiding us thorough the organisational process, providing a critical path timeline... chased sponsors and delegates for payment and managed the registration desk during the conference... We have used Conference Works for the last seven conferences.
- Pieter Braun, Principal Redwood School, Chairman Wellington Regional Primary Principals’ Association.
I just want to write and congratulate you on preparing and executing a marvelous meeting. It was so well planned, and the little touches and attention to detail were obvious everywhere during the week in Wellington. I go to many meetings in the US and abroad and this one was at the top and a lot of fun.
On a more personal note Liga, many thanks for help and friendly urging ahead of the meeting as you dealt with reservations, deadlines, abstracts, and the myriad of other little details.- Professor Peter Webb, USA

Thank you for your contribution to the success of this conference and the other related activities.

As always, Conference Works has provided us with expert help and assistance in organising and co-ordinating another great event that was enjoyed by all. This was largely due to the hard work and dedication of your wonderful staff, particularly Tricia. Your experience and knowledge was invaluable and much appreciated.
