Thank you very much for organising and inviting me to this thoroughly useful event.  It was extremely well organised and the speakers were excellent.  I met a number of interesting individuals and learnt a lot about technical solutions, what works and what doesn't - and what it costs.  I will be doing a summary for colleagues to disseminate the key points.
