“I had the pleasure of delivering the EDC Level 3 program to Courtney during the 35th cohort. Courtney demonstrated exceptional dedication to the field of event design, bringing a unique blend of creativity and strategic thinking to every session. Throughout the program, Courtney consistently contributed insightful ideas and engaged wholeheartedly with both the content and their peers. Their ability to think outside the box and propose innovative solutions to complex event design challenges was truly impressive. In addition to their creativity, Courtney displayed a remarkable commitment to collaboration and teamwork. They actively participated in group discussions, providing valuable feedback and support to fellow participants. Their positive attitude and willingness to share knowledge greatly enriched the learning experience for everyone involved. Courtney has a bright future ahead in the events industry, and I am confident that their skills and passion will continue to drive their success. It was a pleasure working with Courtney, and I highly recommend Courtney for any future endeavors they pursue. Best regards, Roel Frissen Managing Director Event Design Collective”
