I learnt so much in one day and left feeling inspired and motivated. It was a privilege to be surrounded by so many leaders in their fields.
Excellent speakers and stimulating topics, good choice of venue, high standard of catering, all very well organised.
Relevant to expert practice.
It is a conference for professionals but keeps a fun, informal element.
By far the best conference I have ever been to.
