Last year we had two very successful and well attended events but we sadly couldn’t organise a third, given myself and the other leaders work schedule. We instead focused our efforts on a one in early 2018 - February 22nd to be exact. Not long now to get registered, if you can attend please do so, its going to be a great event with some really big industry names.
As previous events we are hosting at The Royal Station Hotel in Newcastle but this time we are starting at 9am and running until 15:30. We have an awesome line up, check it out!
