Speak with Confidence, with Sylvia Cohen
A highlight of this year's programme is Speak with Confidence, a new workshop delivered in partnership with Sony Europe and Sylvia Cohen Communications. Led by communications expert Sylvia Cohen, the interactive two-hour session is part of the Rise Upskill programme and is built around a five-step framework covering body, breath, voice, mindset and message.
Our Safe Car initiative for a third consecutive year, once again backed by LAWO!
This year, the process has been made even simpler. Rather than fixed pick-up points, attendees will be able to call a dedicated phone number directly to book a car home, wherever they are on site.
