What the delegates are saying:

“It did inform and inspire us as well as allow us to make key connections.”
Dani Saveker, Director, Principle Group               
 
“I found it useful and thought provoking. A very good line up of speakers on day one in particular. It was good to break up into workshops to cover different needs of attendees.  The summit has helped with business strategy.”
Michelle Jarrold,  Development Director, Jarrold

“Having not been to a Summit for a number of years I found it very informative, inspiring and well organised. It managed to include topics that were relevant to many different types of business. The first day focused on social networking which was fascinating. This will certainly spur me on to making sure our social networking sites are not a half hearted event. Overall the speakers were great. I also enjoyed the smaller sessions it was more condusive to a question and answer session.”
Rebecca Furbank, Managing Director, Anne Furbank Group

“It was really informative day and appreciate the mix of styles.”
Ken Fung, Finance Manager, Arcadia
