- On-Demand access: you can access recordings of the live event at a time convenient to you. (£5pp)
From previous years feedback, we understand that the most important part of the day is the opportunity to make new and meaningful connections. With this in mind, we have designed a day with both structured and informal networking opportunities as well as space to promote & learn about each other. This is our first time trialing a hybrid event but we’re doing our best to ensure ‘meaningful connections’ are possible to achieve regardless of your ticket type.
