We are excited to announce that there are a few changes to the Hunters Conference this year.

The day will be split into two parts – a traditional conference with lots of exciting exhibitions and insightful speakers, but that’s not all… In the evening, there will be a black-tie gala dinner during which we will be hosting our annual awards ceremony. We look forward to seeing you all there in your finest outfits!
