Networking
We know how helpful it is to be able to network.

Ask an Expert
Speakers and experts from the Recognising Excellence and PDA teams will be on hand in the conference hall, the workshop room or the cafeteria throughout the day to chat though any queries you might have on risk, compliance, Lexcel and best practice.
