This event will be held in Bristol, UK. Based on feedback from our (ALPSP) virtual training programme, this in-person event presents an excellent opportunity to learn from your peers and senior managers. This is a networking and knowledge sharing experience that cannot readily be achieved online. Ask questions and learn from your peers.
