In addition, delegates had the opportunity to network and mix with other professionals from the London & South East region, and learn more about the latest resources on offer from the Institute, including our latest research on Talent Management.

Trustees and Directors of the Institute were in attendance and there was a formal opportunity before lunch to engage in a debate on the progress the Institute has made over the past twelve months.
