4-day Masterclass programmeGain a whole extra day’s valuable learning and networking by attending one of our special 6 ½ hour Masterclasses in addition to the 3-day core programme.
Each Masterclass is an in-depth, learning experience led by one or more of our leading speakers – you’ll return to your office with new ideas and approaches!
To gain the most out of attending a Masterclass, you should have some experience already in the subject area. Please consult the full session outlines online for any additional entry requirements relating to specific classes. You should also be prepared to carry out any pre-reading sent out by the speakers, respond to questionnaires they send out, participate in homework exercises set on-site and share your experiences with fellow attendees.
Masterclasses start on Tuesday afternoon and end the following morning, before the main programme begins. You’ll also attend a special welcome reception, featuring a carefully selected top speaker, on Tuesday evening.
