The 4th Brighton Summit will take place all day on Friday 14th October at the Clarendon Centre, over a series of keynote talks, discussion panels and workshops. This year, 300 business representatives are expected to gather to explore the theme 'Your desires, dreams & real business', what that means to them and how to take their businesses to the next level.
