As well as on-stage discussion and debate, plenty of networking breaks will feature throughout the day, including an evening drinks reception allowing delegates to continue discussions in a more informal setting.

In addition to the networking opportunities on the day, registered delegates can connect with fellow attendees via the GTR Members Area networking site before, during and after the conference, meaning those all important meetings can be planned prior to the event, and discussions continued in the days and weeks following the conference.
