Attendee Feedback: Stellar Conference Moments
Speakers and participants commend our outstanding conferences. Their testimonials highlight the unparalleled benefits of attending our events.
Brillant experience on and off the stage. Having the opportunity to meet so many great people amongst the other speakers and in the audience has already opened up
several good opportunities for working relationships to be formed. As a speaker the organisation was ultra-professional before, during and after the conference. I would recommend attending in 2025 for anyone who is a students of the game
GREGG BROUGHTON
Sports Director, Blackburn Rovers F.C.
I enjoyed a lot being a part of the Danish Football Conference. In a great location Kenneth and his team created a wonderful atmosphere. It was a great experience, to get so easily in touch with a lot of football expertise from functionaries all across Europe.
Daniel Ebbert
Football Scouting Manager, VFB Stuttgart
The W19 – Danish Football Conference, was a great experience.
To meet and talk 1v1 to experts in Talent-ID and Talent-Development, it’s a ‘must-go’.
By visiting the event you’re able to gain a lot of knowledge and beside of that, your football network will grow tremendoustly!
So my advice: attend this conference and use the opportunity MELLEMMAND is offering.
ALOYS WIJNKER
Technical Manager Elite Football and National Teams boys, KNVB
It was a pleasure to be part of this Danish Football Conference. Bröndby Stadium is a top environment to host a conference as this.
Speakers from different European countries, with a specific background, with a different position in the clubs they are working for. That makes it different from other congresses.
The openness to share ideas from both speakers and audience makes that time flies over the two days.
