This year we are trialling a different ‘dinner’ format in response to past feedback.

The planned informal and sociable evening will take place on the evening of Thursday 7th May, following the first full conference day. It will be held in the conference hotel, so no need to rush for a coach and will provide the perfect setting for attendees to relax, continue discussions and have some fun.

The evening will include:

  • 1 arrival drink 
  • 2 course hot buffet
  • Pay bar all evening
  • Professionally hosted quiz
  • Shark Tank winner announcement
  • Awards and prizes
Join us for what promises to be a fun evening and an opportunity to mix with friends and colleagues in a relaxed environment.
