Philip Nothard, chair at the VRA, said: “We’ve now had over 180 people sign up for the event and have a maximum of 200 places in the venue, so anyone who wants to come along should move quickly because we’re down to the last few places.

“There is a genuine buzz around the event, with one delegate suggesting to me that it was a ‘Financial Times quality’ speaker line-up. I think this is true. We have a wide variety of industry experts covering a range of important remarketing subjects.”
