I have to say that #WLSS has to be one of the very best virtual events I have had the pleasure of watching.

Fantastic job @DarrenShaw_ and the @whitespark team.

Very close to openly applauding in my home office while listening to @headley 's presentation for #WLSS. Justifying my fixation on justifications for a year+. 🙌🏼

Seriously @DarrenShaw_ definitely the BEST virtual conference I’ve ever been to and one of the best conferences In general. Great job putting this together. Lots of actionable takeaways. Lots of thought provoking stuff too! Now take 2 weeks off. #WLSS

Gotta be honest and say that I haven't wanted to take part in conferences because of a bad experience with an organiser a while back. Taking part in @whitespark's event and the way @DarrenShaw_ and team interacted with speakers definitely changed my perspective. Very impressed!
