From the first day at LDC, I felt a real sense of belonging within the environment. I was surprised at how quickly I was able to form connections with other delegates and how passionate and energetic the feel of the group was.

I thought that the organisation behind the event was incredibly well put together. Everything ranging from the catering, the facility, the facilitators and general atmosphere of the LDC was great. I think the combination of a well thought out programme and the high attention to detail in the organisation really turned the event from good to amazing

I particularly loved how connections slowly blossomed between all of the delegates – at the end of the conference you could go and talk to any other delegate and it wouldn't feel awkward. Everyone was incredibly inclusive!

I used to be shy about my Chinese heritage, but I’m now proud to identify as a Chinese New Zealander and I want to be an advocate for our shared identity going forward!

Going into LDC I was quite nervous about not knowing what was going to happen and not knowing many people, but it really was the best way to do things. It allowed me to completely step out of my comfort zone, and the facilitators and Albert created a safe space for everyone to feel comfortable to be themselves and share their stories.

Have not stopped raving about the experience to anyone who will listen. Congrats on such a successful conference!
