So, latest update - the number of people joining us has more than doubled in a week! Hardly surprising given the quality of people on the stage and some of the guests coming to say hello! I was once told that one of the speakers was a 10 out of 10 speaker. I saw them speak and they were wrong! this person turned it up to 11! The fact that that could be true of any of our speakers, makes this an event not to miss, and one Bill Banham and I are delighted to host! We knew the event was going to be popular. Who doesn't love a party, some disruptive folks, spitting our truths about how we can all change for the better! It's quick fire, it's inventive, it's full of energy, inspiration and if you think you recognise a couple of those people from other walks of life! yep! Tickets are free and include nibbles, a drink and rapid fire talks by brilliant experts. So join us on Wednesday evening, along with: * Penny Haslam FPSA, Founder at Bit Famous Ltd and former TV Presenter & Business Journalist at the BBC * Jon Sleightholme MCIPD, Director of Talent Acquisition Solutions at NFP, an Aon company * Una Doyle, Business Strategist at Creative Flow * Jamie Keeling, Head of Solutions at My Staff Shop * Jackye Clayton ♕ , VP of Talent Acquisition and DEIB at Textio * Paul Armstrong, Director of People Development at NFP, an Aon company * Steve Foulger, Commercial HR Director at NFP, an Aon company * Bill Banham, Host of the @HRchat Podcast and Editor at The HR Gazette * Alex Hughes Chair of Inspire 2 Ignite CIC Haven't got your tickets yet?
