QUO VADIS CONFERENCE
With many of the delegates being regular attendees at Quo Vadis this has created a real feeling of community at the annual gatherings. This reflects the nature of our industry which is young and closely knit. Indeed, the presentation from Chris Smith (RES) highlighted the development that our industry is undergoing – from its early pioneering, non-conformist beginnings, to an industry that is maturing with improved capabilities but also increasing challenges to incorporate professional standards and practices into everyday business.
THE
NETWORKING AND EXHIBITION Quo Vadis followed again the successful format of previous years with short presentations and Q&A sessions and long breaks for networking in the adjoining exhibition area where the host (GWA Supplies) and co-host (SKF) as well as the other main sponsors showed their products and services: GL Garrad Hassan (now DNV GL), GasTOPS Canada, Hove A/S, KK Electronics, Morgan A&M, Winergy, and ZF. David Morgan, Business Manager Wind Service from ZF Services UK Ltd was again very pleased with Quo Vadis and voiced his opinion: “It is a fantastic opportunity for us to meet our customers, some of whom we haven’t seen in a while. As mentioned before ZF Services think this is a very worthwhile conference and we will continue to support it through sponsorship in 2014.”
OFFICIAL CONFERENCE HALL OF FAME The sense of community was reinforced with
the introduction of the ‘Hall of Fame’. Sigrid Donovan inducted three people into this place of honour for having attended every one of the 7 Quo Vadis Conferences. They are Huw Smallwood (Tegni), Jon Beresford (E.ON), and Steve Higman (REG). As well as getting their faces up on the screen – for which they will or will not be eternally grateful – they received a silver plated model wind turbine. Michael Bermingham (ESB) and Steve Clarke (devCo) were appointed to the Anteroom of Fame for participating in 6 of the 7 Quo Vadis Conferences.
SUMMARY
Feedback has been excellent with many delegates choosing Quo Vadis Conference as their number one event in the year. Kevin Donovan commented: “As always, we have tried to make everything as interesting and special as we can. This industry is unique and the people involved are equally unique. As more and more people come and spend two days of their precious time with us we have to deliver and make it
worth their while. This year we have set a new milestone with 3 delegates travelling all the way from New Zealand. We are fortunate that our loyal sponsors and new ones help us to finance the event as this is and will always be for invited guests only.”
