Here to ensure delegates will be fully energised throughout the day.

Sustainably sourced direct from the farm in Kenya with a bold ambition to support the local coffee growing community.

Need to unwind a little more than coffee can provide? Why not have a few rounds at Wyboston Lakes Golf?

''The event went really well. Despite heavy rain when they were doing the activities at RIDE. The facilities at The Woodlands Event Centre are excellent now and it was nice to see the place so busy. Tara and Josh we're very attentive and despite our event being spread over three venues, which was our choice, it still went very smoothly.''
