56% energising, 41% reassuring, 3% grumbling.

A resistance to gatekeeping and the assumption that everyone knows exactly what they're doing - CA is a space to better your understanding of other roles, raise concerns and look to the future.

CA 3.0 will remain informal and constructive with quick paced talks from speakers at the vanguard of their profession. The evening is also for meeting and connecting with the whole assembly - this years venue has capacity for 70 only.

CA 3.0 contributors:

Izzy Wedderburn
Designer and New Mountain Magazine Founder

Sara Piper
Marketing Leader in Sport & Major Events

Alex Shaw
Kickback Coffee Founder

Louis Van Kleeff
Global Activations at Rapha

Paris Bethel
