An expert panel shared their thoughts and experiences, sparking plenty of conversation among guests. Alongside the talks, attendees enjoyed food and refreshments, with lots of opportunity to network and exchange ideas in a welcoming setting.
January’s event took place at Delapré Abbey, providing a unique and memorable setting.
