An enjoyable and relevant forum. The content was very valuable, and it was great to talk between presentations with guests and speakers.
The quality of the delegates this year was on another level. The roundtable format was fantastic for having real conversations.
I was concerned it might be a sales fare – but it was the antithesis of this. A very useful day!
