WHAT OUR ATTENDEES THINK ABOUT THE SEMINAR

‘An excellent place to start a project – great clear information and educational, great place to network for services. Well worth the cost, even for me travelling 250 miles each way! Would recommend a combined visit with a day in NSBRC exhibits for even more. Well done ACA!’ 

Andrew – seminar attendee, February 2022
