‘…I was fortunate enough to attend the very first of Business and Innovation Network event and fortunate enough to attend many of the subsequent events. And when I think back upon those events and I look to this year’s event and the future events, one of the real hallmarks of those events is that it identifies the facts that the future is unwritten and this is more relevant than ever in today’s world. The future is unwritten and when you’re in attendance of those events, what you realise is that you’re meeting the people and you’re discussing the topics of the future, you’re discussing how the future will be written and you’re interacting with the people who will be writing that future.’
