Testimonials

The conference was fantastic! I can’t wait to go back and listen to the sessions I couldn’t attend. It’s exciting so see those higher education sessions. This conference will certainly be on my ‘MUST ATTEND’ list next year.

Compared to all of the other conferences I’ve attended, this seems to have been the one where there were a lot of folks interested in radical change to the status-quo of the education process. I think that outside the box thinking is very much needed in space. I’ll highly recommend your events to others!

Serious Play is by and far the premier conference of my year. I get to quite a few perhaps 4 or 5 in the USA in a year and SPC for me has the right mix of size, diversity and intimacy for great value.
