Quotes from attendees & speakers
“The panel felt like the first adequately informed open discussion of the true context of the issue of drug deaths at festivals - in the midst of the media storm which would shortly be fuelled by the coronial inquest - by those who actually deal with it on the ground. The inclusion of the psychological perspective really added something to the dissection of the topic at hand”
“The agenda, speakers and content really showcased some of the challenges our industry are facing. Hearing from and meeting other like-minded professionals in the one day event environment was great. I thoroughly enjoyed participating and look forward to next year’s edition.”
