    A very good day - some of the speakers were inspirational - although it did not particularly reflect the 'A' for Arts in NESTA.

    Well done NESTA. A great day out, meeting real people who are making a difference.

    I wish some of our 100 entrepreneurs had attended just to hear from the panel. Great that it was gratis - these things are usually not and thankyou for the opportunity. www.sinc.co.uk

    A good conference with some interesting speakers. A little too corporate at times (Hellen from the economist group)..mind you sitting between Geldof and Pitroda_ real innovative thinkers_ she had no chance.
