As a member of Leadership and Management Wales and or the South Wales Chamber of Commerce I am pleased to inform you that you have exclusive access to 10 Things I Learnt. 8 speakers from business strategy, technology and design will come together on one day to share their experiences of developing ideas and the things that they have learnt along the way.

SOME REASONS TO ATTEND

Network - Delegates are a mix of industry professionals in business leadership, design, engineering and technology. Make new connections which may prove useful as you move your business forward.

Research & Development - The event theme is learning through Research & Development and taking the long strategic view in business.

Staying in Touch - Broaden your perspectives! Learn from people working in areas different from yourself. Some of the best ideas form when people adopt thinking from sectors they don’t usually operate in.
