“I was blown away by the range of workshops of offer at the CMN Conference 2022 – it was difficult to choose which ones to attend! The day was very worthwhile and it’s always good to network with fellow marketers and share ideas. As always, I’ll see you again next year. These events are always very inspiring.”
