Thank you so much @RuthS3 and @rhona_ona for your generosity. The privilege and pleasure of serving you and the evidence community is ours. Thank you for the opportunity.
Thank you for the mention @carinavr, you are however the legend who inspired the ambitious programme and pushed the boundaries of digital conferences into the stratosphere!
Thinking over months of prep for #Evidence2020Online, three external partners deserve much praise: @CONFSA (@pswart1 & his team), @Hewlett_Found (specifically @NormaAltshuler), and @theReboot (@PantheaLee and her team). Thank you for your support and professionalism. #ACErs
Thank you for the mention @profsandyoliver, our pleasure and privilege to support and serve the @Africa_evidence community.
#Evidence2020Online was imaginative, ambitious and a model of co-creation. Well done everyone! I’m looking forward to seeing the outputs!

In the words of the Evidence2018 CoChair @ closing, don't be sad that it is over, be glad that it happened!
My whole house smells of beautiful flowers. Thanks @pswart1 and your team. I’m sure it’s us who should be thanking you. You provide #Evidence2018 a great service. Thank you! #Evidence2018highlights
