Evaluation
Evaluation Results
Thank you for your detailed evaluation forms. We have put together some comments to take forward for the next conference.
Feedback on the speakers was excellent particularly the Childhood obesity day .
Feedback on the workshops was good and the general view was that they were informative and a lot of interesting discussions took place. Areas of good practice were brought forward and a good forum for networking.
The AGM Meeting/Professional Matters - It was felt that more time was needed to debate some of the issues but delegates were more aware of the work of CNG Committee. The Home Country Reports were well received and delegates wanted this to continue to "complete the picture".
The Marketplace - A good idea to network and see resources from around the country. Delegates requested more information on this.
The Exhibition - Generally well received by the delegates and acknowledgement that we need sponsorship to reduce costs. There were stands that were new and of interest. Contacts will be followed up for next year.
The Conference Facilities - An improvement and the A-V system universally acknowledged as a necessity. Food service still an issue with Wednesday lunch not very acceptable.
Ideas for future conferences will be taken to the committee.
Recommendations for Conference
- Continue using a conference organiser such as Sovereign.
- Reduce to 2 days with AGM at end of first afternoon. Reduce time of AGM by written reports circulated prior to conference.
- Organisation of conference by small committee including CNG conference organiser, experts for themed days, treasurer, CNG PR representative, and representative of Sovereign.
- PR representative promotes interest in conference and raises profile nationally involving articles in the press. By raising profile of CNG will have more interest in sponsorship.
- Continue to look at alternative sponsors from primary food sources.
- Look at other venues for 2008 but still keep Swanwick as a venue perhaps every other year.
- Continue use of A-V company.
- Have a roving mike for audience participation in main hall.
- Continue promoting market place.
