AGENDA

Tuesday 16 June

Informal dinner at The Rum Warehouse from 18:30
The informal dinner is included in the cost of the ticket but when registering please indicate whether you will attend or not.

Join fellow attendees for an informal pre-conference dinner at the Rum Warehouse from 18:30 – the perfect opportunity to connect, unwind, and start meaningful conversations before the main event begins. Designed as a relaxed, informal gathering, the evening offers a welcoming atmosphere to meet industry peers, exchange ideas, and build valuable professional connections ahead of the conference.

This will be a standing, non-seated event, encouraging guests to mingle freely and network with a wide range of attendees throughout the evening. Enjoy great food, drinks, and live music as you ease into the conference experience in a social and vibrant setting. The evening will finish at 22:30 and the dinner ticket will be circulated nearer the time with the joining instructions.
