The event starts at 5pm with a reception and an hour of business networking in the Oyster Room before moving to the Kingfisher Suite where Dale will present ‘There’s always more toothpaste in the tube!’ where he takes a look at innovation and the important part it has to play in any business and reflect on how companies have innovated and adapted to re-discover themselves in what has been an extremely challenging and unprecedented time for many. Exploring the out-of-the-box thinking and ground-breaking ideas that have enabled some to thrive and become more resilient than ever before, including examples of island businesses that are a great example of what can be achieved. A talk that will spark new ideas and surprise many as to the possibilities when we innovate, adapt and move away from the conventional. Reflecting that when adversity faces us and we feel we have exhausted all avenues ‘There is always more toothpaste in the tube!’
