The care and thought that went into the choice of speakers/panel and the topics - I think your membership feels listened to and that is so important in a professional association.
Michelle Seymour, Balance Matters
I thought it was a great event. Well organised with thought-proving topics. Personal insights from the panel discussions gave it a very authentic, down-to-earth feel. I left feeling inspired and emboldened as a woman.
Jemma Challinor, Precision BioSearch Limited
It was a great day. Well organised. The investor panel was a really good session. Also, all the delegates were very open to networking. Uplifting vibe.
