We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for attending last week's annual conference and exhibition. With over 2000 delegates, 154 exhibition stands, 11 sponsors and a highly comprehensive conference programme, this was the busiest event yet (we sold out before the event opened last week) and your support ensured a highly successful and exciting event.
