Mischon de Reya
"There are those sessions at conferences which have something special - and if I knew the precise recipe for these and how to bottle it, I would! Your session had something special and was the talk of the conference. You covered a subject key to our future - and of course whilst we all remain optimistic, I think from your session we emerged a little wiser and with a greater urgency to prepare for what might emerge from the Year of Elections."
