What to expect?
An informal evening of inspiration. Each presentation is just 15 mins, but packed full of useful ideas to help you get more out of voice in your organisation.
There’ll be craft beers from Shindigger, wine and snacks. Questions are very much encouraged and we’d love it if you can hang around afterwards to talk more.
