What did APG Young Planners Say about the event?

"Thought the event was very interesting and good to be taught things that can be applied practically. The guys from The Nursery were really open with answering a few questions afterwards and I managed to take away a some further tips!"

"I really enjoyed the event last night. The guys from the Nursery put on an engaging and really insightful session. I went in with lots of questions, which they seemed to have answered throughout the evening. I found the focus group exercise really helpful, since we don't know what we don't know until we try it."

"Thought it was amazing. It's such a niche area and it was so nice to find others in my position or even looking to get into planning."

"Really great event, run by fantastic team. Enjoyed the practical advice and tips."

"Loved it - super helpful. Especially the Interpreting section. Getting to discuss actual clips of people feeding back on adverts and discussing if we could be cautious or confident."
