Northern Grid Conference 2011 - Professional Development Event

Thanks for making this our best conference ever!

Summary

On the 23rd June, at the Gosforth Park Marriott Hotel in Newcastle, we held our annual conference.

The focus was on Continuing Professional Development, with 20 wide-ranging, practical workshops, sandwiched between 2 inspiring, thought-provoking keynote talks by Russell Prue and Steve Wheeler.

Feedback from delegates, exhibitors and speakers alike has been phenomenal and we'd like to give a big thanks to everyone for making it out best conference ever.
