“After about 15 years of attending, I still think this is the best event of its type available for both delegates and suppliers. The atmosphere is professional and business-like but also relaxed and enjoyable. The Summit Team do an excellent job in making sure everyone is the right place at the right time with the right frame of mind.”


Kevin Ball, VP Global Talent Management

“The event was a fantastic learning and development opportunity for any HR professional. It was a great to meet peers across various HR disciplines, learn and benchmark against our own HR function. It was my first time attending an event like this and it opened my eyes to the types of suppliers and services that are available to our organisation to assist us on various challenges we face.City of London Corporation”

“As always, a superbly organised and hosted event, highly professional and a slick experience for delegates and suppliers alike. We always find that the environment and conditions are created to make genuine connections, which for us have developed into ongoing client relationships.”


Andy Dent, Head of New Business and Product Sales
The Oxford Group

“Thank you Summit Events for another fantastic session. The organisation is second to none. The value of these two days for networking, sharing best practice and meeting great people is such a great investment, it's why we keep coming back. Meeting likeminded people who are all passionate about development is amazing and creates a great environment for really interesting conversations.”


Jenny Jones, Sales Director
Dove Nest Group

“Although often difficult to take 2 or 3 days out of our busy diaries, I'm very glad I did as I got a whole lot more out of it than I initially thought I would. The event is extremely well organised and the suppliers are amazingly friendly, with no pressure selling at all. On the whole, I found the suppliers very willing to listen to the challenges I'm currently experiencing and then tailoring their advice about their products to my specific areas of concern. Thanks Summit Events for this opportunity, I loved it and met some like-minded people who I'd be very keen to keep in touch with professionally in order to knowledge-share across industries.”
