“I have been attending these sessions since the early 1990's when it was originally held at UCD on Saturday's. The knowledge and information gained is stored in binders and utilized yearly by myself and other staff members at CKMcClatchy. Teaching would have been difficult without all the ideas generated by the wonderful presenters. My heartfelt thanks.”
