We last met in April 2022, with a great conference in Liverpool. Discussions centred on how firms had adapted during those unparalleled times. Those conversations were enlightening and deeply resonant. The programme for this year promises to be equally, if not more, engaging. We have a packed agenda that addresses pivotal topics faced by our members and the broader market. We are fortunate to be joined by exceptional speakers, many of whom are recognised authorities in their respective fields. Each has given their time to develop contributions that draw on their expertise and insight.
