Challenge

To bring together people professionals, leaders and the wider business community to discuss the pressing issues they have in common, as part of an immersive and exciting live event

Solution

In 2022, more than 6,000 people registered as visitors and delegates at London Olympia alongside a highly engaged virtual audience.
