To keep the session interactive, we’ll also invite delegates to share their biggest challenge before the event:
“If you could win one new contract this year, what’s the one thing that’s stopping you?”
The event will conclude with an open Q&A, giving you the opportunity to ask Stuart your questions and benefit from his extensive experience.
Tea and coffee will be provided.
