As part of the CIHT South West region’s Annual Conference 2020, the programme set aside the first part of Afternoon Session 1 for a mini ‘Unconference’. This session was co-chaired by Nik Bowyer (Chair, CIHT South West region) and Chris Shipway (Vice-Chair).

The Unconference provided an opportunity to engage all the expertise in the room, ensuring delegates played a part in setting the agenda for part of the day, in addition to the conference speakers. It also provided an opportunity to share ideas and disseminate knowledge, allowing for a true peer-to-peer learning experience.
