I think the new company should be given a chance, but first we all need a bit of reassurance.

There is no doubt that the new organisers are monitoring this thread.
If as I believe this to be true, will you please let us know who you are? where you are based? what you have organised in the past and any other information you believe will help to convince me and all others interested to trust you?

One additional answer I would like is Why did you take over from the Events Office and have any of the staffor management of that organisation got any interest or are they employed by the new organisers?
