All who attended will remember an extremely lively & entertaining debate as perspectives were shared from across a whole range of sectors. As ever, our members were far from shy when it came to Q & A, with speakers & sponsors alike were very much put on the spot (a challenge they met with fortitude!). Of course, the evening was much more than just the formal element with vigorous networking before & after the main event, continuing apace at the post-event party.

Photos – a taste of the evening!

“It’s really exciting to see the leadership position 4iP intends to stake out in fusing the public and the digital domains. I’m really looking forward to seeing and supporting the businesses and projects that emerge from the programme and hope to see more social innovation like this happening in the UK and Europe”
