By the way, I suspect that many people attending consider this to be the best conference of their life. I have been to many large conferences in my lifetime and not a one comes close to equalling this one.

Based on my experience, when SYMVOLI undertakes an event -even large and complicated international conferences- they are dedicated to the management of the event in a way that the organizer feels secure being supported by, not only exceptional professionals, but also people with which he can communicate quickly and efficiently, in a very friendly and warm atmosphere.

I had the unique opportunity to collaborate with SYMVOLI while organizing the 12th European Congress on Sport Psychology (FEPSAC 2007, Halkidiki, Greece). The Congress has left the indelible memory of excellence on all sport psychologists visiting from around the world.
Its success was primarily due to SYMVOLI and its team. I have since been recommending SYMVOLI unreservedly to all friends who care to organize high quality congresses and events.

Your conference service provider, SYMVOLI, is the top of the top: incredibly efficient and reliable. My sincere congratulations to them. Since I organised, as you perfectly know, a conference of about the same size 12 years ago, I think I know what I am speaking about. My service provider at the time was not so bad, but by far not so perfect like SYMVOLI.
