Thank you to Phil Bridges from Oysta who stepped in at the last minute to host a lively and light-hearted interactive session which, at least for a short time, took our minds off the pandemic and how it’s not only affecting our industry but each one of us personally.  Thanks also to all the presenters and delegates who took part and shared views in our panel session.
