Kick off the evening with some networking while enjoying drinks and canapes. Listen to a panel discussion featuring some of our most senior leaders.
You will be seated at two different tables during the event, where you'll have the opportunity to talk about your career and receive valuable advice about how to make the most of opportunities ahead of you. This is also a chance for you to learn more about your peers and the challenges they encounter on a day-to-day basis at work.
With another networking session mid-event, you'll be able to search out and pick the brains of the senior leaders you admire.
