An insightful week full of information and social bonding with people from different cultures and backgrounds. Many of you may now know why I chose to attend this event for the second time - not just for the knowledge, but for the connections I made with all of you. It was a pleasure meeting and getting to know each of you. I'm confident that many of you will soon be starting your own ventures - this was just the first step.
