This central London 1-day event will bring together some 200 sector leaders and senior professionals to explore key topics under this theme, including:

The conference will feature stimulating plenary addresses and panels, and practical break-out sessions.
The streamed break-out programme will again include an interactive roundtable discussion with peers – a highly popular element of last year’s conference.
