Some delegate feedback:

  • C'était fantastique et super inspirant.
  • All sessions were valuable even if just for immersion in French for me a non-native speaker.
  • This was my first conference and I thoroughly enjoyed it! It was so inspiring and energising.
  • Je tenais à vous adresser mes plus sincères remerciements pour cette conférence d'une qualité remarquable. Pour une première participation, j'ai été profondément impressionnée : la richesse des interventions, la diversité des approches et l'accueil chaleureux ont largement dépassé mes attentes.


Together, we're moving
