Ever seen a keynote speaker do a talk and think you want to ask them questions or they didn’t cover the things you want to know? Well, at Spotlights we interview our keynote rather than them doing a presentation. A set selection of questions that our host has put together, for you the attendee to get the most out of what you hear. You will also get the chance to ask your questions before we do our around the room presentations. This is the podcast versions of the Spotlights interview - if you're interested in coming along to a live Spotlights meetings, head to https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/spotlights-tickets-359554997677?aff=odcleoeventsincollectionhttps://connect-spotlights.captivate.fmnoepisodicJonathan FoyJonathan FoyThis month's Spotlight is a focus on the construction and property industry, with Jonathan Foy.
