Training

The speaker will deliver one full day of training in person at the primary venue chosen by the host.

The speaker will be required to fill a full day of training, broadcast by any suitable in-person median throughout the day organised by the host.

Materials should be made available to delegates during the training day in form that can be taken away and referred to. Thus, supporting the knowledge transfer from the speaker to the delegates. the host will also take a copy of the training content and share it from a central location for delegates to refer to.

All training material will remain the intellectual property of the speaker and not the host.
