Upholding the traditional values of the lunch, we will be carefully curating an allocated seating plan for all guests who purchase general release tickets. Whether you have bought a ticket independently or purchased collectively as part of a group, all guests will be spread out throughout the room and we cannot guarantee that you will be seated with friends.This provides a powerful platform for networking, diversity, fostering new connections, and exploring opportunities for growth and collaboration.We trust you will enjoy the experience of engaging with like-minded individuals who you may not ordinarily have the opportunity to connect with. There will also be ample opportunity to meet up with friends and colleagues during the networking functions before and after the lunch.
