Alice did a brilliant job at Aon earlier in the week. She was the perfect balance of light-hearted and informative, and it was a great way to round off a long day.
Just a quick note from me to say thank you for joining us at JiC earlier in the week. It was great to meet you and I really enjoyed chatting to you onsite. I thought the drinks reception went very well – it was a great way to encourage networking and we really appreciate you taking the time to chat to all our delegates.
