Ive spoken at many conferences and conducted workshops in the "real world", but the bestresponse Ive had is still from Virtual Roundtable. Lets do it again! - Mauricio, Australia

To join such a conference, from the comfort of home, at times which suited me, was a delight. I

made contact with others around the world who had interesting opinions and were happy toshare them. I would love to take part in another virtual conference. - Sue, USA

Acquiring such talented presenters and panelists, yet having the content accessible and ofinterest to all-comers is an art. The balance of topics and depth of this conference and thequality of the many speakers showed the skill and confidence of the curator and her team.Anyone missing out on taking part in this conference would want to make sure that they keptthe time clear when the next virtual round table conference is announced. Taking part live - itjust makes sense! - Nigel, Australia

The people of Lancelot have done an amazing job pulling this off. The pioneering work ofLancelot and its partners will be written about in the history books of language education. Imnot joking. These people just blow my mind with their knowledge, passion, and dedication.They are just as excited about technology as they are about the fundamentals of language

learning. The combination of both, drives them always to the cutting edge of our trade. -Stefan, US

An excellent overview of the wide range of opportunities now available to teachers who reallywant to get into an online environment. The presenters and moderators struck a fine balancebetween providing interesting and informative content without overselling their concepts andservices. - Brent, Germany

A nice way to be a student again. We could chat and enjoy learning things. We spent somevery nice moments sharing our understanding of our work, the questions we have and theideas. A positive and highly enjoyable experience. - Dominique, France

The best thing about the Virtual Round Table Conference was the fact that at any givenmoment we had the chance to swap ideas with more than 40 people from around the world.This gave me the opportunity to put my own experience of teacher training and technologicalissues in ELT here in Brazil in perspective with colleagues around the world and this hassubsequently led me to re-think a number of issues. It couldn't have been a more enriching

experience. - Valria, Brazil
