I found the meeting this morning very useful. The panelists were very seasoned in terms of planning for big events like the upcoming Olympic games. So that was great.
Also, would it be possible in the future to organise a similar kind of event but with experts in dealing with goods and services available in London before and during the games? For instance, tips on how to book hotels, car rentals, catering, etc.
