Naturally a fabulous hot & cold breakfast is served with tea/coffee and juice so come with an appetite for business and breakfast! At 10.30am the structured part of the event concludes and everyone is invited to stay and network informally with each other till 12 noon. Then I send out the delegates list to encourage the all-important follow ups.
