Go West Bringing Events to Life

Conference Testimonials

The following are testimonials from a cross section of clients that Go West Conference & Event Management has worked over the past 16 years:
"I am glad that SEGH 2010 International Conference and Workshops was proved to be a historical success, and I would like thank Go West for providing the efficient administrative services. Staff members of Go West were hard-working, flexible and approachable. During the whole process, e-mail and telephone communications with Go West were always fluent. Delegates of SEGH 2010 were impressed and many of them praised the excellent organization for abstract submission, registration, welcome reception, conference sessions, workshops, fieldtrips and conference banquet. With the administrative support of Go West, I was able to focus my energy on academic issues, making my life of organizing such an internationally important event much easier than expected. "

"Go West looked after all aspects of Conference administration from brochure design and print, website development, online registration to co-ordinating all of our Speakers and Exhibitors for Cuisle Beatha 2007 & 2009.  They managed the conference budget, reducing our costs and introducing efficient systems.  Go West were onsite to oversee the set up and operation of the actual conference and to manage registration.  I have no hesitation in recommending Go West as an invaluable resource to all conference organisers in terms of expertise, service, support, value for money and understanding the requirements of a scientific conference."

"Go West did an outstanding job working for us on ECIS 2008. We have received numerous praises of how well the conference went and that everyone had an excellent experience.  Your input at all stages from the initial bid through to Conference delivery was invaluable.  Engaging Go West to manage the online registration, block book the hotel accommodation, and manage the conference venue and to plan an ambitious social programme enabled us to produce an impressive Conference programme that we are very proud of.  We appreciate the excellent care that you gave our delegates in all your dealings with them.  The personal interest, creativity, flexibility and professionalism of the Go West team are impressive and contributed hugely to the success of ECIS 2008.  Thanks again."

I have found them to be extremely professional in their approach, giving great attention to every organisational detail as well as providing constant updates and reports on every aspect that requires their input.  Also, they have provided us with excellent entertainment and will negotiate with suppliers for best ‘value for money’ for their client.  We have received very positive feedback from our delegates and would have no hesitation in using their services in the future.”

our recent conference “Learningin The Europe of Knowledge”. 
Knowing that you and your team were there working away on allthe arrangements and tasks was a huge support.  This left me free to concentrate on overall matters of content and of course my normal job which had to go on regardless.  Invited Guests and delegates from outside Galway and from abroad for whom you had most to do were particularly complimentary.  We are happy to recommend you unreservedly to other potential clients.”
