"GTR London is such a good event! Very insightful observations from some of the speakers and panellists, and the different streams mean you can always find something relevant for you or listen in on something that you know little about to learn more. The mix of attendees means the conversations you have outside the sessions are as engaging and useful as the sessions themselves, sometimes more so."
