Next year’s AGM starting on Wednesday 21 October 2015 will, I’m sure, be a memorable event. The Grange Hotel, near St Paul’s has been booked along with the House of Commons terrace for a Wednesday night reception and Mansion House, along with the Lord Mayor of London, has been guaranteed for the Friday night finale!

In between these two lavish occasions, I’m sure there will be some memorable daytime presentations.

Bearing in mind the conference is being held during the Rugby World Cup, we have already secured the services of Sir Clive Woodward to add a touch of topicality to our conference.

The overall line-up of speakers focusing on doing business internationally is currently underway, so for now, just get the date in your diary as it would be a shame to end up having booked a holiday in the same week.
