Thanks for Making it a Great Event!

As you'll have seen from Simon's post below (thanks, Simon, for the pics and the funky slideshow!!) we had a fantastic couple of days at the B2B Thames Valley event this week. Lots of you attended the conferences and seminars, and we were delighted by the number of visitors to our stand who were genuinely interested in how they could improve their profitability through a better understanding of commercial contracts.

The "Guess the Weight of the Contract" competition was very popular, with over 200 entries in total! I can now reveal that the heavyweight tome clocked in at an impressive 2.475Kg!! We'll be notifying the lucky winners, who will receive Devant workshop places and champagne as prizes, over the next few days. Your units of measurement were a great source of entertainment throughout the event. Lots of you thought in 'bags of sugar' and we had several 'about the weight of my second child' comparisons. But my favourite was the lady who thought our contract weighed 'about one and a half medium-sized cats!!'

If you didn't make it to the event you can sign up to one of our first two public training workshops at a special 10% discount - only £360 for an intensive one-day learning experience that will pay for itself many times over. Contact us to book your place, and mention our BLOG to receive your special discount.

We met some fantastic people over the course of the two days in Windsor, and Alison, Jan, Helen and I would like to thank the organisers of B2B Thames Valley (and particularly Scott Hider) for all their hard work in making it such a roaring success.

We'd also like to thank:
- Simon of Hyde End Studios, and Mark of Facer Designs, for their creation of the gorgeous cake-inspired graphics that attracted so much attention to our stand,
- Christina of Tasty Catering (tel. 0118 979 7134) for her delicious cakes that were enjoyed by all, and
- Emma of I-Candi Designs I-Candi Designs for our elegant cake boxes.
