Perfect Information was proud to host its seventh Perfect Information Conference, the PIC 2010 in Luton Hoo Hotel, Bedfordshire from the 11th - 13th May, 2010. The conference was held in a beautiful venue providing our delegates with a level of service which was exceptional - no detail was missed. We are so fortunate to have had such a supportive following from all of our sponsors: 7Side; Alacra; Bureau van Dijk; Experian; FactSet; Financial Times; FreePint; ISI Emerging Markets; Lexis Nexis; Mergermarket; One Source Information Services Ltd. We would like to take this opportunity to thank them all for their valuable support and dedication.

The PIC had one of its highest turnouts to date this year with over 125 delegates having gathered in Bedfordshire to learn how to "Proactively Take Information to the Next Level". The PI team were determined that the conference would provide delegates with unbeatable networking opportunities as well as a dedicated learning environment. Speakers ranged from leading figures within the Information Industry to leaders in soft skill fields (in areas of maximizing personal impact, financial education, change management, etc.). The delegate breakdown was:

• Financial: 35%
• Legal: 19%
• Supply side: 25%
• Accountancy: 7%
• Other: 14% (incl. press, educational institutions, recruitment, industry bodies and consultants)

On the whole, the feedback was very positive, with the vast majority of feedback forms recommending that their company attend the conference in 2011. We have already had a number of excellent and exciting suggestions for topics to include next year and ways to better the conference format that we are eager to execute next year.

Feedback Highlights: (5 = excellent, 4 = very good, 3= good, 2= fair and 1= poor)

• Aspects of the conference such as organisation, booking/admin, networking opportunities & venue facilities received scores above 4.5.
• The main attractions for attending the event were the networking opportunities, programme content, attendee list, previous attendance, word of mouth and the opportunity to have time out of the office to think.
• This year's speakers were all ranked highly. The most popular speakers were Ed Pugh (Communication Boot Camp), Lesley Robinson (chair), Stephen Archer (Economic Climate), Suzanne Wheatley (Maximising Personal Impact) and Isabella Folwell (Contract Negotiation).

Networking & Social Events:
Both the pre-conference and gala dinner evenings received a very warm welcome from the delegates, as they were seen as excellent opportunities to network and socialise with friends, vendors and new industry peers. This year's pre-conference evening was the Alacra barbeque preceded by a prosecco reception. This year's Gala Dinner and Champagne Reception, hosted by Experian, was thoroughly enjoyed by all - great food, lovely music and superb company.
