There is, of course, no substitute for attending events in person. But a little digital engagement can go a long way to enhancing the experience of an event. The theme of this year’s conference was “Creating a Culture of P2”. We leave you with a few digital snapshots of our takeaways on the successful 2018 iap2 North American Conference and hope you will tweet us your favourite insights or anything we missed @delaneyinc. See you online!
