A few weeks ago I spoke at the Conference and Hospitality show in Leeds. The training areas were a little disconcerting for the speakers I must say! The set up was similar to a ‘silent disco’ which meant that the audience all had headsets on so that they could hear the speaker and not the noise of the conference.
