The Unite 25 agenda has been making plenty of waves over the last few weeks – but it isn’t just about inspirational keynotes. It’s also about real conversations with people facing the same challenges as you are.
That’s why we’re excited to announce a brand-new lineup of interactive roundtables. These are hosted by leaders from some of the world’s most recognizable brands, providing a unique an opportunity for you to speak directly with peers about what’s important for your business.
