Kind words from our clients

Our participants loved the heritage and the beauty of the venue. The building allowed us to expand across the three floors during the day as our events and participant numbers grew, and still feel intimate for the smaller night talks and social events. The team is incredible, really friendly, professional and very supportive. MozFest is delighted to return for a second year to the RSA.
