Reflect and reconnect in Belfast!
“This promises to be our biggest
and best meeting ever – celebrating
the opportunity to be together and
learn together, after a long period
online. We have a diverse range
of speakers and session formats,
including hands-on workshops, live
demos and amazing keynotes. Get
your friends to come along, explore
our meeting and the wonderful city

Causeway and Carrick-a-Rede?” -
