TESTIMONIALS

The Zak Conference in Sydney once again was a full house as usual and we will be interested to be part of more events in the region.

Frank Goudman Renson

The quality of attendees, networking opportunities and discussions outside of the presentations were incredible. Zak World of Façades certainly had everyone in the industry talking about it and definitely drew an impressive crowd.

Ciara Horgan CSR Viridian

The attendance levels were outstanding - looking forward to the next edition.

Troy Donovan Prism Façades I really enjoyed the morning talks by Kerryn Coker & Richard Francis-Jones as they were very good. Mic Patterson was also excellent, and the panels were very interesting. It was also very good to have companies exhibiting as could get extra information following some of the presentations. Overall, definitely worth attending.

Grey Bray The Buchan Group

I found the presentation by Michael O'Reilly (Permasteelisa) to resonate the most, he mentioned in his presentation “The importance of standardization and technology developments being the key to remain competitive.

It was a pleasure to participate in Zak World of Façades Sydney. There was a solid turnout and represented by quality delegates.

Timothy Van De Ven AkzoNobel

Good variety of presenters. Each presentation was of good length, didn’t get bored.
