                  • What was the event like? any good takeaways to share?

                    • there’s always someone who doesn’t turn up and wants to crib your lecture notes! though in this case missing out on canapés and Prosecco. Main takeaway for me is was suggestion that the crafting of something will become more important. few other scrawls on attached if they’re readable.
