All FDA members are formally invited on a first come first served basis.
At this festive themed event, Sir Martyn Oliver will be answering your questions, put to him by our very own FDA General Secretary, Dave Penman. This event is an excellent opportunity for FDA members to hear firsthand from HMCI about the issues that affect us all going forward.
If you would like to attend in person, please RSVP by emailing matt@fda.org.uk to secure your spot.
Similarly, if members have questions that they would like Dave to put to HMCI please do include them in your email.
The physical event will take place at FDA HQ in London Bridge.
Festive drinks and nibbles will be served from 11.45am with the event kicking off at 12pm. We will aim to finish at 1pm however, for those that are able to stay we will host a networking reception until approximately 2pm.
There will be a Teams option for those that are unable to make it (details to follow).
Due to limited space at the venue RSVP is required.
