Quotes from delegates who attended last year’s conference at Brands Hatch, Kent:

“It was a very informative day. Exchanging thoughts on good practice and hearing about the current trends in the early stage market was particularity interesting. The awards dinner was a very well organised event and was good to see BBC’s dragon Richard Farleigh present the awards. I very much hope I am able to attend next year”.

“I immensely enjoyed attending the Conference at Brands Hatch. The speakers were of a very high quality and the event was a great opportunity to network with others in the early stage investment market. A well organised and informative event, I look forward to attending next year.”

“It was great to see so many different organisations attending the same event, particularly business angel networks, early stage funds, lawyers and accountants”.
