The day will be packed full with something for everyone, and will include sessions covering: LMS updates (what’s new and what’s in progress), custom content, client stories, hot topics (including GDPR, MiFID II and SMR), and cyber resilience. More info below, but please remember, whilst we have booked a larger venue due to demand, there are still limited places, so register now. Colleagues welcome to join you subject to availability.
Our key note will focus on engagement and behavioural change, and will be delivered by a guest speaker from Lead Now and Extraordinary Leadership – two organisations aimed at catalysing and revolutionising corporate behavioural change.
