“On behalf of the Organizing Committee, may I thank you for contributing so much to the conference; both in your presentation and for the workshops. The verbal feedback I have received so far is summed up in one quote ‘It was worth coming just to hear Mr. Marquardt’.  I, and all my colleagues here at RAIB fully concur with that comment.”
