The Voices of APEC 2007 was a wonderful experience and I am very thankful to have had the opportunity to have been apart of it. The people which I met were interesting and had many great ideas. I thoroughly enjoyed discussing many of the issues that were raised at the conference by the many speakers.

The conference had many fantastic speakers. They were very insightful and bought many of the key issues of APEC to a forefront. They showed me how APEC was not only just for international trading businesses, but how APEC affected me on a more personal level. This included things such as education and climate change. This made the conference even more worth while.

The other delegates at the conference made the boarding house feel more like a home away from home. The many long pool games were also a great way that the other delegates and I bonded at the conference. Also the fantastic food made my stay at Scots College even better. Although these were great 'perks' at the conference, the amazing experience and the insightful speakers made APEC more than just a conference world leaders attended which I had heard about on the news.

Again I would like to thank you for the incredible experience at the Voices of APEC 2007 conference.
