workshop sponsorship opportunity
‘CIPFA conference is an extremely enjoyable experience, but more importantly, along with significant business benefit. The workshop opportunity allowed us to highlight in an interactive way a project that has delivered benefit to a local authority in an innovative way and get feedback from the attendees as to where else our solutions would add value. The conference is very well organised and the CIPFA conference organisers are a pleasure to deal with as they are efficient, and professional - the whole experience is excellent’.Alison Goldie, Head of Sales UK, Capgemini
