I’ve made amazing connections, learnt a great deal and thoroughly enjoyed myself.” — JD, UK

Many moments of feeling that I was connecting emotionally or intellectually with decent, interesting, curious people.” — DL, UK

“Thank you so much for these magical moments you created. It takes a lot to reach that level of perfection. The secure environment you managed to create, leading people to being vulnerable and share. The mix of people you brought together. All senses stimulated — views, music, food, wine, touch, making it a truly unique experience.” — HG, UK

“We traversed mountains, some of which from within – imagine going 120 meters *into* the heart of a volcano! We floated in warm geothermal springs, we had delicious meals… But the amazing part was that this was all done while having a lively discussion about our ventures in healthcare, our challenges and learnings. David Rowan and his team have created the best networking environment one can hope for. We had so much FUN! This is something you don’t get in any conference. It is a perfect way to combine business and pleasure with an opportunity to learn from others.” — RW, Israel
“Amazing, amazing trip — really can’t thank you enough.” — HB, UK

Overall, it was an incredible adventure, and it is clear that a vast amount of creativity, care and effort were put into curating it.” — RR, Israel
“The range and variety of people… by age, geography, and pursuit. The detailed planning. The atypical, curated activities. Opportunities to break into smaller groups as well as full group activities. The feel of quality without being ostentatious.” — SB, USA

“A completely genuine and sincere thank you — such an amazing and magical week in Edinburgh. Really, one of the most unique and enjoyable experiences I’ve ever had the privilege of being a part of. I have lived a week in only 3 nights, and yet it passed in the blink of an eye. Your ability to bring a group of people together, as people and not job titles, and in just the right mix, was incredible.” — DG, Israel
“Very grateful to shared so many brilliant and meaningful memories together. Such a giving, curious and humble group and absolutely flawless execution. It’s going to take me a day or two to relearn how to make any decisions again. I do quite a few of these kinds of trips and can confidently say this one now tops my list. The people, content, location, organisation were all magnificent.” — RY, UK
“It truly was a magical few days. Thank you very much for making the trip so fulfilling and memorable.” — AA, USA
“Such an unmitigated absolute delight… This was truly my DREAM TRIP. Pinching myself. A dozen provocative shows, a warm and terribly interesting group of new friends, scenic picnics, and why not throw in a historic castle?! How lucky are we.” — MG, USA
“WOW! Experiment was off the hook and no feathers pulled or ‘say better’ needed. Your fastidious attention to EVERYTHING and gentle nudging and corralling was masterful.” — TS, USA
“What a delight — I enjoyed learning about new ways of telling stories, to each other, and from the unexpected. Incredible curation and timing.” — RM, USA
“What a treat to be part of this creative and dynamic group. I would like to thank each one of you for contributing to this phenomenal experience. I am grateful for these precious moments we all spent together.” — PSS, USA
“What an incredible group and experience! Can’t wait until the next gathering!” — BP, USA
“So, OMGGGGG Edinburgh. That’s really all I can say. That and thank you times a zillion. Just filled out my feedback form, but in no way captured the magic. I so hope you are basking in the glow of creating/facilitating what people have said was ‘a cult-like experience without the creepy’. Or at the very least, that you’ve had a proper nap.” — LE, USA
“Thank you again for all of the hard work put into our Edinburgh Fringe trip, it was indeed unforgettable.” — SS, USA
