Networking3.0
a handbook for event organisers on making the most of face-to-face opportunities.
The guide reflects the changing workplace and the reasons behind bringing people together. More importantly, it explores event organisers’ heightened focus on delegate wellbeing and draws on the science and significance behind the circadian rhythm in progressive event planning. We also share our B Corp commitments as we are seeing huge demand from clients who want to work in venues that are conscious of their environment and their societal impact. Something we do in spades!
