Performance NotesThe Annual Convention is the event to attend if you want to understand what is happening now, what is coming, how to grow your business, win new customers and stay one step ahead of your rivals.

Ahead of this summer’s EU Referendum, the UK is at a crossroads. This year’s Annual Convention will bring together business and political leaders and ask them two simple questions: what is the biggest risk to business right now? And how are you going to deal with it? With economic uncertainty on every front, how do businesses not just survive but thrive? You will have a chance to hear from some of the most creative and dynamic businesses and the leaders making it all happen.

IoD chairman Lady Barbara Judge hailed this year’s Annual Convention for featuring the most female speakers in the event’s 66-year history. Judge also commented, “Your daughters and young women around the world can look to these senior women for inspiration and realise that there is no office too high to be held by a woman."
