Events

Building on our previous success, we plan to offer further events throughout 2023 and I have listed these below. Other topics may be added throughout the year and detail added to the events closer to the time. You may wish to make a note of the dates – webinars are moving to a Wednesday and will largely take place on the third Wednesday of every month at 12:00pm

As part of our ongoing commitment to our clients our webinars and conferences will continue virtually throughout 2023. We have made the decision to make all of our webinars and conferences free of charge for the rest of this year.

Please follow the link to book your place for each event you would like to attend.

We look forward to seeing you throughout the year.
