Reviews on our 2022 Event

Loved the venue (and probably the best lunch I have ever seen at an event of this kind). I found the event very inspirational, and some really interesting speakers and insights.
Thoroughly enjoyed the day, great line up of speakers and wasn’t expecting to be so emotional, never know what a day brings. Loved it ❤️
Brilliant event with great speakers. I learnt so much throughout the day and made great connections with the people there.
Great venue and high calibre speakers. Good that some of the speakers made me think out of my comfort zone. Brilliant opportunity for networking. Helps keep up to date with my industry.
LOVED IT!! Amazing speakers all sharing a vast range of stories, experiences and knowledge. Loved the mix of presentation styles which included the Q&A style less formal. The workbook was great and challenged me to focus on key takeaways that are actionable.
Really enjoyable day out, lovely relaxed atmosphere, fantastic speakers, well done!
Just wanted to reach out and say thank you and congrats on such a successful event! I really enjoyed all the talks and it was so nice to be back to in person events. Will definitely keep an eye out for next year!
I attended the Social Media Savvy conference yesterday at the Titanic Hotel Belfast. Just a quick note to say congratulations to you and your team for such a wonderful conference! 👏🎉 I found all of the speakers really enjoyable! Wishing you all the best for next year's event - I’m already looking forward to it.
