Really superb speakers (not the usual financial services people), great content, fabulous 'Ideathon', coverage of key topics, food, space and good attendance from a range of UK Finance members, so great networking opportunities.

Excellent topics - very current, practical solutions. Speakers were open and engaging and frank in their conversations which added a lot of value.

Great location, so easy to meet and talk to people. Great speakers. Format and structure worked well.
