Feedback re IBBY Congress website

  • Congratulations and huge thanks to Mike and his team. We simple could not be at this stage without his patience, ‘insight and creativity’. We, Storylines and IBBY Congress planners, are very fortunate to have had his expertise and willing support.
  • How absolutely wonderful, Rosemary. Thanks to Mike and you for all the work that has made it one of the most wonderful websites for a conference I think I have ever seen!
  • WOW

  • Fantastic Rosemary – a huge milestone! Will be sharing a lot – Just saw it (and liked it) via Frances on Facebook!
  • Just brilliant!
  • Well done to Mike and his team. Have just cruised and perused the site and it is fabulous indeed. The look, the feel, Ben’s illustrations, the enticing content, relating both to the conference and to NZ as a destination.
  • I agree! It looks really wonderful and the initial ideas still stand up superbly well. If I was 24 hours away I would want to come! (And the NZ video has given me a great big lump in my throat … true pride! ). Thank you Rosemary, Libby and all. Thank you Mike, it is brilliant!
