Advisory Board
We work closely with a chosen panel of leading experts and practitioners to put together a timely relevant programme which truly reflects today’s key industry concerns and are constantly seeking industry feedback and new contacts to join the advisory board. Members meet a few times a year, either as a group or on a one-to-one basis to help drive the programmes to ensure it reflects the key industry concerns.
The board continually help review and mould our conference programmes, drawing upon their wealth of experience to advise on current industry developments and potential speakers, with many taking part in the event themselves.
