The thoughts of delegates as they left were that they need to re-ignite their communities, be more interactive with their members and more open to the wider world, create more flexible and responsive organisations and be the curators of knowledge and current experience. More immediately, what this means is that delegates know that they need to find out more about their members and what they want. They need to be sure what their unique value is.
