Client Testimonials

  • Modernising Nursing In the Community - website launch - January 2012

Jane Harris, Directorate for Chief Nursing officer, Scottish Government.

“It was a pleasure to work with such personable and efficient people – prompt and well informed emails and phone calls, and the opportunity to meet the team and visit the location on more than one occasion.

Nothing was too much trouble for the events team in meeting our quite unusual requirements.

The team gave us every confidence that QMU would deliver on what was a complex event. This included live on line streaming of the event to NHS boards across Scotland, and a live interactive question and answer session between the Minister for Public Health and community nurses in their work bases.

A very professional team who took any stress or anxiety away from the client and out of the event completely.”

  • Association of Guilds of Weavers, Spinners & Dyers - August 2011

Doreen Marsh, Event Organiser.

"QMU was the ideal integrated venue for 170 participants at our Weavers, Spinners and Dyers Summer school. Staff could not have been more helpful and were happy to make adjustments for our special requirements"

  • The Getz Colloquia – QMU - October 2010

Professor Joe Goldblatt, FRSA, Chairman, The Getz Colloquia.

 “ After three decades of attending and organizing hundreds of conferences, I recently discovered the formula for making every programme an outstanding success.

Firstly, you appoint Queen Margaret University Conference/Events Team to organize your event.

Secondly, you conduct your event at Queen Margaret University Edinburgh.

Thirdly, you prepare yourself to receive the most positive feedback from your attendees that you could ever imagine.

This was my recent experience when I worked with the best conference management professionals in a brand new state of the art conference facility and received rave reviews from my attendees. Having authored and edited 22 books in the field of events management I wholeheartedly confirm that the Queen Margaret University conference services team is among the very best in the entire world. Feel free to contact me if you need further information about this very valuable service”.

  • Green Economy Conference - QMU - May 2010

 David Lee, Organiser and Chair of Green Economy Scotsman Conference.

  “Our experience of hosting a major green economy conference at QMU was entirely positive. From the start, the team was attentive to our needs and always went the extra mile to ensure the event would be a success. On the day itself, everything ran very smoothly - the AV service was superb and the food was great. I couldn't praise the team or the venue highly enough.”

  • COFHE conference – QMU - July 2009

Alex Talbot, Chair of the Colleges of Further and Higher Education Group of the Chartered Institute of Librarians and Information Professionals (CILIP).
