I really enjoyed the conference, its international character, the presentations, the people and good vibes! I also really appreciate that you focus on methodology. There are not so many qualitative methodology conference, so this one was really appreciated!

The review that I received on my abstract played a direct role in enhancing my knowledge. The organisation of the entire event was so smooth, it made one feel so comfortable and tension-free. The focus on knowledge production, analysis and rigour made me respect the event further.

I loved the variety of qualitative research methods presented, I appreciated the diversity of presenters, the location of the conference.

Excellent and engaging moderators; event coordinators are professional, organized, kind, and offer help quickly; the online event has a lot of members, good discussion, strong presentations.

Workshops offered; variations of Qualitative Research Methods presented; inclusion of student presentations, and international content.

Extremely well organized. Keynotes + training + demo sessions were fantastic. Really the best place to be if you want to be up-to-date on what is going on in the field of qualitative methodology.

Networking opportunities, big picture, lunch was wonderful way to meet and chat to people all over the word, and the food was excellent.
