Russell Bedford tracks conference performance with member feedback review

September 2021

In the run-up to the network’s annual global meeting in October, Russell Bedford International looked back on the five major online events held earlier this year. An incredible number of representatives from Russell Bedford member firms attended virtual conferences and meetings which delivered some impressive statistics. 

100% of attendees who joined this year’s APAC Regional Meeting and Marketing Meeting rated the web conference as excellent or very good; while 100% of attendees who joined this year’s International Tax Conference, APAC Regional Meeting and Marketing Meeting scored the content as excellent or very good according to their level of expertise and confirmed they would participate in another Russell Bedford online conference. 

Speaking about the review, Stephen Hamlet, CEO of Russell Bedford said: “As a network committed to continuous development, asking our members for their opinions on our performance and critically analysing their feedback, is an important part of ensuring that we meet our targets and deliver on our member’s needs. We regularly engage with our members to specifically and carefully consider their thoughts and suggestions, because we want to ensure they are receiving the value they expect.” 

He added: “It’s impressive that we’ve attracted close to 1500 of our member’s personnel so far this year, and this does not include the several more who attend our regular webinars. One of the positives to come out of this pandemic, and having to run our events online, was the ability to penetrate much deeper into our member firms and engage with all levels of staff, who would not normally be able to travel to a physical event. We now look forward to seeing even more at our main event of the year, the Russell Bedford Annual Global Conference. It’s a credit to both the exceptional standard of our online events and expert speakers, as well as the dedication of our members, who prioritise connecting with their colleagues and developing their knowledge, by keeping up to date with what is going on around the world in the profession.”
