Day Relearn – 16 April 2024
Dominic Thurbon’s keynote on “Connecting the Dots” set the tone for a day packed with 14 immersive workshops. From mastering persuasive presentations to creatively reimagining event experiences, attendees left equipped to embrace and implement bold, forward-thinking ideas.
