TC2014 Keynote Address by Cathy Bell

On the morning of Saturday 12th April 300 Designated Persons, Ministers, youth leaders and parents all gathered at assembly buildings to enjoy fantastic cupcakes together but more importantly than that, to consider some difficult issues and learn from experts across various fields. Adjectives such as “Outstanding, On the Nail, Marvellous, Superb!” were used to describe the conference and one delegate commented that it was, “inspiring, educational and fresh”. Another wrote,” Invaluable – we live in a fast changing world and need to keep up to date and we need to be informed of all topics, especially the difficult ones covered today”.
