We have launched an exciting new service for members of Stay
Connected - webinars!
We will be hosting regular events on key topics in relation to
personalisation, meaning that you will be able to get access to
cutting edge information from the sector all without having to
leave the comfort of your office.
This new service will enable delegates to save the time and
expense of travelling to an event. They will be able to participate
in short, focused online sessions involving leading people in the
personalisation field. Delegates will even have the opportunity to
ask questions afterwards!
A number of dates have already been secured for the next few
months. Some of these will be open access, however a number will
only be available to members of our Stay Connected network.
