BESA's popular Summer Insight Day is back, and this year we are moving to a brand new venue!

Stationers' Hall, a beautiful venue located close to St Paul's Cathedral, will be our new home for this must attend event. The day will offer attendees an informative mix of discussions and talks, followed by networking over an afternoon BBQ in the stunning courtyard garden at the hall.
