"I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing a number of The Innovation Spotlight Series sessions, they’ve been brilliant. They have supported us in keeping up to speed on new tech and businesses which could support our marketing agenda. The sessions are educational, practical and speedy. We love the elevator pitch format as it saves time liaising with lots of potential suppliers. I would recommend it.”
