Many are centred on London, but it’s not exclusive as there are some good regional events too.
As it’s still only early in the year, we thought it might be helpful to highlight a few scheduled for the coming months in case you’d like to get a date in the diary – and while no-one could attend them all, it’s helpful to know the areas they cover as there are often opportunities to follow up with companies or speakers after the event if a particular topic is of interest.
