I really liked the breakout session, it was good to brainstorm together about how to expand internationally and hear the summaries from the other teams’ discussions

I was so impressed to hear how Yeo Valley still innovates on a 10 year old program, it’s really an inspiration We’re really in our heads too much sometimes

We talked with the other brands now and we realised we really don’t suck as much as we thought 😂

I really enjoyed the LVR presentation. They’ve done so many of the things we want to do, we definitely need to spend some more time with them

Thank you to our sponsors
