This event is a closed mic and video online webinar, which means no one will be able to see or hear you but you will be able to see and hear the speakers. We hope to include a question and answer section, if time allows. We ask that only organisations operating in Cambridgeshire or Peterborough register.

As numbers are limited , we ask no more than two delegates from each organisation attend this event.
