The Meeting Point – It starts with a story

What a great 2 ½ days. We cycled, we stomped like dinosaurs, we ate Cadbury chocolate, we held Gold Medals, we cried with adventurers, we travelled to Banff, we talked, we networked, we ate the best food and we awarded the industries best! What more could you ask for?

One key sponsorship professional summed it up by saying it was the most informative industry event they have ever been too.
And to think it’s run by volunteers, by the industry for the industry! 
Our industry is small, it’s opinionated, it’s competitive, it’s innovative and it’s dynamic. We hope this was captured in our program, that as a industry we learnt from one another to improve collectively the standards of best practice.
