Fanshawe College Conference Services offered us beautiful accommodations in their residence centre, as well as a professional conference held in a lecture hall, and some of Fanshawe’s classrooms. Their residence centre was clean, comfortable, and very neat! Not only was it a beautiful facility, it was all more than reasonably priced. All front desk staff could not have been more polite and helpful which was very impressive. Everything was accessible, full of friendly staff and a great value for your money! We were very pleased with choosing Fanshawe College Conference Services.
I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for all your outstanding work in helping making the first annual SRID a success. Your willingness to go above and beyond in order to help make things happen, your calm and sense of humour, and your knowledge of event planning, made my job a lot easier, and allowed me to concentrate on getting the students ready. I look forward to working with you again in the near future!
