Event Organiser: Karen Skidmore
In this section you will find a list of events that have already taken place. We got feedback that it would be of interest to see what sort of events we have already run and have a useful track to previous speakers. So, happy to oblige :) P.S. We started this section in July 2006, so if there are sessions that you are keen to revisit or find out the contact details of the speakers, then just drop me an email at networking@candocanbe.com
