CONFERENCE FEEDBACK 

Comments from delegates and non-delegates to the conference
A 30 May 2010

I wanted to congratulate you on one of the best conferences to date.  The science and the message remain vital to correctly identifying this disease process for doctors and patients who are impacted by them and for the governments who continue to deny their importance.

Thanks for another great conference!
A 5 June 2010

Thank you everyone for a great couple of days, as usual. It's always so inspiring to meet with you all and compare notes on our situations in different countries.

 It is great that it (the conference DVD) is being provided at a relatively low cost for a DVD, as that will make it accessible to a wider range of people.

I enjoyed the Conference very much.

Thank you for a fantastic conference!
I forgot to fill in the questionnaire, sorry, but everything was 5 star.

I want to thank you for all the sterling work you are doing/have done on behalf of ME people in the UK. You are leaders & pioneers. MEs have good reason to be very grateful. Yesterdays' conference was excellent

I have great admiration for the efforts you quite evidently put into arranging these events, and I am quite sure that all the patients appreciate it greatly.

I thought this year's conference was especially interesting, in part because there now evidently is renewed interest in studying the enteroviruses; there now is more general acceptance that vaccines can trigger the illness or exacerbate problems; the importance of correct identification of symptoms and other physical manifestations is recognized.  Just three aspects which struck me as being a welcome 're-visit' of 'old friends', the importance of which was stressed so many years ago (20+!) and which have become diluted and distorted in the interim period due to the activities of those 'beloved' psychiatrists we have here in the UK and who have had such an undue influence here as well as elsewhere.

We just wanted to let you know how much we appreciated all your hard work organising another superb
conference. The presentations were extremely interesting ( if a bit above us at times !)with all the speakers
really showing their commitment. The plenary session was incredibly useful with all the American expertise
on offer that perhaps as a suggestion, could that be extended next year ?
The only disadvantage of having this at the end is audience fatigue, otherwise it is great when all these
experts respond so spontaneously !

Thank you all so much again , and please thank all you helpers.

My daughter suffers from ME and I therefore attended the Conference.  I found the Conference interesting and would have expected the DVD to be sent to all attendees free of charge.  I'd be very grateful if you would forward a copy to me, or clarify exactly why you feel attendees to the Conference are required to pay an additional charge for the DVD.

This really was the best conference yet ---- WELL DONE indeed to you both. Every aspect of the conference works so well and the conference is beginning to get a family feel about it giving some of us the one and only chance each year to meet up.

 
Organising an international event at this high level is no mean feat and I do hope that you will have recovered from all your hard work now.

Thank you so very much for inviting me to attend the conference as a guest of Invest of ME.

You are doing incredible work.  The whole event was absolutely brilliant.
