The inaugural Independent Magazine Conference has set the standard for future events with a packed agenda, experienced and motivational speakers and a room so full of positivity it could have generated enough energy to power a small village!
With 100% of delegates saying they couldn't wait to return for the next one we're now busy planning how to top this super weekend. Maybe all that's needed is a complementary pack of Alka Seltzer to follow the late night networking?
