Always great to come together as a sector; meet new people, have time to connect with your own team, gather new information or affirm existing knowledge; lots of fun and positivity; very refreshing!

Both days were so positive and invigorating with lots of actions to take away and implement. The time really flew and I could have done another day - the two days were so inspiring!
