What else to expect

Networking
We all know networking is a vital part of working in our industry, but as busy professionals we can struggle to find the time to do this effectively.

So, as well as bringing industry leading speakers to your doorstep, we’ve planned dedicated networking time throughout the programme to give you a chance to make new contacts and catch up with peers.

Lunch
A two-course hot lunch is included in ticket price – and again, seize the opportunity to network.
