Happily, the fantastic programme of speakers will remain the same, as will the beautiful venue: we can’t wait to host our annual insight event in the exceptional surroundings of The Londoner.
It hasn’t been an easy decision to move The Summit - we were so excited to be back with a blockbuster event after nearly 18 months. But, in the light of continued ambiguity about whether the government will be able to open up the country on 21st June, I felt it was better to postpone a couple of months to a date which, given the speed and success of the vaccine programme, looks like more of a certainty.
