- Phil Crowshaw, Internet business expert highlighted the ways in which communication channels are changing between businesses and customers
The highlight of the Conference was a speech by two Olympic and World Championship Medal winners Roger Black and Steve Backley, who enthralled the audience on Saturday afternoon and took it in turns to talk the delegates through the highs and lows of their careers and included videos of their success.
Chris Hayward, NMBS managing director comments “The Eventia Awards 2012 aim to recognise and reward the best of the events industry, and NMBS are proud that their conference has been named as a finalist. The Awards will be presented at the London Hilton, Park Lane on Friday 30th November.”
