Conference

The HEBCoN Conference  is now over for another year.

It was held in Cardiff  at the Parkgate Hotel, Cardiff with a special visit to the Principality Stadium for the Awards Dinner.

Feedback from this years conference:

“Truly grateful to have had the honour and opportunity to be a part of HEBCoN and the welcome was amazing!! ”

“I just wanted to say thank so much for making me feel welcome and part of things at the conference. I didn’t know anyone that was going along, and wasn’t really sure what to expect. The conference itself (and speakers) was brilliantly organised with some great content, lots of food for thought. ”

The HEBCoN 2023 conference, sponsored by Critical Arc and ISARR  was a resounding success.
