The qualities of leadership and resilience have never been needed more. Our aim with this conference is to look to the positive and to examine ways in which businesses can successfully adapt and recover. We have a strong line-up of expert speakers, a panel of business leaders who have faced unprecedented challenges over the last year as well as valuable insights from our partner Danske Bank. Our aim is that delegates will come away motivated and thinking positively about how they can take their business forward despite the lingering challenge of Covid-19.
