We asked: Did the event deliver your expectations and what did you gain from attending?

Yes, it was brilliant. I came away from the conference with a greater understanding of both CWA’s work and the work of those within the CWA network - plenty of inspiration too!

I loved it. Met great folks with applicable advice and support. Learned about other groups and what they are doing, and what they have achieved. The event surpassed my expectations
— Delegate. CWA Conference 2023
Absolutely! As we are in the early stages of trying to figure out what our business would look like and have zero funding at present, we seriously lack any support or contacts. This event was a brilliant opportunity to discuss with like minded individuals on what support is out there and the organisations that would have valuable information
