What do exhibitors think of it?

Dear Debbie, just a quick note to thank you and all at forum3 for organising such a brilliant event. The lead up to it and management throughout was superb - well done to you and your excellent team! We received a huge amount of interest as a result.
Pete Raines, Coral Cay

I was extremely impressed by the level of professionalism and dedication demonstrated by Zoë throughout the relationship with The Place2Be. All our queries were dealt with swiftly and efficiently and always with a smile, with Zoe going that extra mile to suggest new ideas and strategies to ensure that we got the most out of our time at the event.
David Meredith, Marketing & Communications Manager, The Place2Be

Thanks to you and all your team for all the effort you put into organising Forum3.
It was a fantastic success for us in terms of the Book Bus. I’ve never been involved with such a positive show, it was really uplifting.
Seth Harris, The Book Bus

What do visitors think?

An excellent event on Saturday, lots of really interesting people to talk to, loads of leads and great presentation by John Lees (I even bought the book!). Can't wait for the next one! - Thanks for the hard work that went into organising it.

I attended the Forum3 event in Islington some weeks ago, and it's long overdue to let you know that I thought it was a very well-organized and most helpful event. My background is as a doctor in medicine, and having just completed the Sloan Fellowship, an executive full-time programme in Management and Business at the London Business School, I am interested to work in the NFP-sector. The guides one could download prior to the actual event where extremely useful, and my special compliments go particularly to the person, who wrote the 'Networking guide'. We have been encouraged to excel at networking while going through business school, but it was your guide, which I found most thoughtful and extremely encouraging. As a consequence of it, I meet some great people - not just with regard to job opportunities, but on an entirely human front.

Positive Change

Positive Change is a series of seminars aimed at inspiring people to come and work with value led organizations – in the green sector, with charities, or international NGOs. The events are planned and run by People Unlimited’s events team in conjunction with 2 Way Development, a volunteering placement agency based in London.

Run at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), part of the University of London, these events have been extremely popular with job seekers, graduates and those looking to transfer their skills in to the sector. For more information, click here.

Feedback from delegates:

A Heuer:
Very good events, there should be more of those!

T Falaiye:
A very encouraging start, keep it up and make it an annual event. Enlarge your advertorial of the event in BOND magazine. Congratulations on your successful start and best wishes for subsequent ones.

K Burke:
Very useful initiative - ultimately saves the sector lots of time in misdirected enquiries and job applications

Hannah:
Very impressed. Most beneficial seminar I can ever remember attending!

P Harrison:
A very worthwhile event. As I'm about to embark on post graduate development course in September the event helped to confirm that I'm making the right decision.
