Firstly, we would like to start with saying a big thank you to all of those who attended our conference on the 29th and 30th March. It is safe to say it was a brilliant two days, in which the EDGE community grew closer together, sharing ideas and best practice.
Thanks to all of our wonderful speakers who shared their EDGE knowledge during numerous breakout sessions and a special thanks to our Canadian friends: Karen Arts, Rebecca Xu and Trina Johnson who gave their international experience with using EDGE.
We have already received requests for speaker presentations, which will be made available on our website in due course. Along with the video's for each plenary, keynote and breakout session once these have been edited and approved by each speaker. So do keep a look out under our 'News' section for further updates relating to the conference!
We would like to take this opportunity to share some of the comments we have received regarding our Accelerate conference:
