“The event ran like a machine, which is nothing but credit to the hard working Summit team. The strategy workshops were informative, varied and valuable for understanding how L&D is developing itself throughout different industries and organisations. The meetings were perfect in terms of timing - meeting new suppliers that I wouldn't of ordinarily engaged with. Ultimately, I leave having gained new friends, industry peers and insight, into how tech and practice are continuing to evolve in supporting performance improvement and people development.”
