Wellspring hosts an annual US based training day every October. However, many of our UK, European, Middle Eastern and Australian clients can't make the long flight or dates in Chicago, so we have decided to launch a new European based event. This years London location is convenient to fly in and out of, and offers a more affordable way to access hands on training. The event is completely FREE to attend, and will be hosted in the historic National Gallery at Trafalgar Square, London.
On Thursday, 6th September a series of afternoon sessions followed by a Welcome Drinks Reception and Canapés near to Trafalgar Square in London.
