Using handheld devices supplied by Live Group, a company that specialises in gathering audience feedback at events such as CSL, we've been able to hear the views of Civil Service Live 09 delegates on a series of questions.

Here are their answers to "What are your thoughts on Civil Service Live"

"Very good venue is so much better than the QE2 centre!!"

"Very interesting and opportunity to meet various people from within the civil service and great goodie bags"

"A great idea. Gives a real sense of being part of a valuable and professional institution rather than the day job which can often make one feel like an anonymous functionary"

"Good event. I would encourage exhibitors to use less flyers and publications and try to find out other ways to communicate messages"

"Excellent. I was a bit unsure however now I'm here the presentations and Q&A are really inspiring. It's a shame we can't get these thoughts and feelings to a wider audience. Not too convinced about some of the stands though"

If you have your own feedback or experiences you'd like to share, post it on the wire or, even better, write a post about it in your blog here.
