"Congratulations on the 2008 conference! It was so very powerful and well organised. It was great to see such dynamic and articulate young people contributing so positively at every stage of the day; and the array of guest speakers was fantastic. I go to a lot of youth focused conferences and this has been by far the best I've attended." [2008 attendee]
