Previous attendees comments
Our intention was to meet people able and willing to invest in our company. We won't know the results for a few weeks yet. However, what I can say with certainty is that Campden Conferences have delivered on their part of the deal and certainly introduced us to people wealthy enough to back our project fully and who clearly have an interest in the sector and are actively looking to invest. Overall - excellent value for money.
