By and large the awards, judging and conference were excellent.

Here's a small note to say a BIG Thank You.

From my first hand experience as part of the jury as well as an attendant and speaker at the festival, all I can say is it was a great success in the way you could get together so many people from the industry together in such tough times. It was such a great opportunity that allowed all of us to learn as well as share with each other. Many Thanks again also for taking good care of us and for indulging all of us with some great food and wine at some stunning locations.  

Well done.

Thanks to all! Now the dust has settled wanted you to know that I felt it was a thoroughly excellent event, especially given the economic situation/travel bans etc. The content was varied and generally insightful, and I thought the Gala dinner was a spectacular success... Good planning all round.

We very much enjoyed the award process and are honored to be the recipient of this year's "Communication Futures Award".

The feedback we received on the event was very positive and are keen to hear of next year's already.

We look forward to our continued relationship with C Squared and the Festival of Media.

The event was great and Valencia is definitely the right place for this kind of event! We already have some ideas about how we can improve our visibility and brand experience for next year! Once again congratulations.

Congratulations and thanks for another excellent Festival, in spite of the challenging economic environment. In my opinion, the move to Valencia was inspired. Significantly improved the city logistics (hotel proximity, evening entertainment, time to network etc), weather was fantastic, beautiful city, great gala dinner etc.... Another great line-up of speakers...... To summarise, a very interesting, enjoyable and useful few days.

Just to say that our guys are back from the festival and that they thought it was great - even better than last year. You must be delighted as it was a tough climate to pull of an international event with such success.

I confess (but not often) I am not easily impressed. You put on the most amazing event, in the toughest of economic backdrops. Your team was professional, courteous, attentive, imaginative, resourceful, playful and this combined to creative a productive and engaging show with adpt networking opportunities. Thank you for making me so welcome and make sure you give yourselves a big pat on the back.

Just a quick note to say many thanks for the invitation to speak at Valencia.  I had a great time… The venue and logistics were excellent.  Valencia is a fantastic city and somewhere that I will certainly be returning to! The hotels, especially their location next to the conference venue were great and speaking from a delegate perspective everything ran smoothly from AV to catering to timings.  Of particular note was the provision of evening entertainments which were varied but of a consistently high quality.

I’m sure that you hear this every year but the line up was stellar - I think I’m right in saying that you had every single global media network head present in one capacity or other.  In addition there was a very comprehensive range of speakers from agencies, clients, media owners and technology suppliers.

Well done to C Squared and to the whole team!

I thank you again for your invitation to take part as a guest speaker to the Valencia Media Festival 2009. I also would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you, despite the current economic situation, on having decided to maintain this great event.

The industry is going through tremendous pressure but, as we all know, we will survive and hopefully we'll get out of this stronger than before thanks to our commitment to improve the quality of service of our sector. More than ever, vision belongs to those who know how to shape the future...

Great to be exposed to so many international speakers with different views to similar issues.
Valencia was awesome day and night.

...thank-you and the whole team at C Squared. I really enjoyed judging and hope I get invited back some day. Well done all on putting together such a great event and awards.

Congratulations first on a great festival! I enjoyed having joined and hope my little contribution will help lead to a better media world. Overall I consider the festival a success. The awards contributed to it.

Thank you all for putting on a great conference… The feedback we've had internally has been really positive and as always it was a pleasure working with you all in making our sponsorship a success.  I really value the partnership we've built up over the last few years and it's great working with such a responsive team that want our sponsorship to work as much as we do. Thank you all (and your team) for being so responsive and understanding of our needs before and during the conference and I hope we can continue working together for many years to come.

The Festival was a nice opportunity for me to understand the outlook of the industry at present. The subjects discussed by panels were well focused, and I have found the comments of panels very serious, honest and positive maybe because all of us are facing challenging time those days. Particularly considering about the issue of how media should be like to satisfy both clients and consumers in the future, several debates I listened to were very helpful. I would be happy to share these insights with my colleague in Japan.

This event also gave me good occasions for networking, I was able to see lots of interesting people there who I think can keep catching up each other later on.

Again many thanks for having me down in Valencia.

Just wanted to thank the entire C Squared team, as well as congratulate you all for a great event. I'm already looking forward to next year's.

Just a quick note from the Billetts contingent to congratulate you on a successful Festival in a very difficult year.

It was a good opportunity for us to survey the media landscape and see the emerging trends, while engaging in some positive conversations and debates. The topic of evaluation was an interesting one this year and it was good to get a chance to discuss it with a range of people in the business.

We are so excited about and honoured by the Digital Media Owner of the Year award!  Thank you!

An all around success! And it appears that you are getting lots of great feedback - superb, and well deserved.

I really enjoyed the festival and the jury. I think it was a big improvement over last year and the feedback I heard from others reflected that, you should be very happy.  Also, people had a great time at the bar in the evening and that is the best indication of a successful meeting!

It was a very valuable experience for me to attend the Festival of Media this year for the first time to listen what the experts in the media industry are saying meeting a lot of them in person.

I thought that the level of the participants was very high and provided a great platform for networking... Overall job well done!

A big thank you to you and your team for a great festival – organisation, venue and content worked very well. That dinner venue was amazing. Delighted to be a winner [of an FMA]!

I just wanted to congratulate your team and everyone who was involved with the 2009 Festival of Media. The speakers were inspiring, the networking very useful and the venue, the city, the food and the wine were fabulous too!

Thanks very much for a perfect few days.
