Feedback from the last IMPACT Network event held at SOAS:

 

Great event - I found it really useful and passed on much info to my peers who couldn't attend. Thanks! 

 

One of the best events I had been to in a very long time. I wish our HR dept could have made it.

 

As places are limited and we anticipate high demand for this event early booking is advised to secure your place.
