Thanks to everyone who came along to our 20th anniversary celebration event on the 18th October 2022.
We welcomed over 80 delegates to our first in person event since 2019 and it was wonderful to catch up with faces from the past and lots of new members too.
We crammed a lot in, with presentations looking back and into the future, as well as celebrating our Student Award winners and the Jon Walker Lifetime achievement award.
