BUSY OPENING COCKTAIL

DF&TR regional stakeholders were welcomed back to a Summit of the Americas live event for the first time in three years [the event was cancelled in 2020 and held virtually in 2021] in typical fashion on Sunday 10 April.

The evening’s opening cocktail offered a perfect opportunity for colleagues and friends – and plenty of new entrants – to network in the relaxed surroundings of the Hilton West Palm Beach hotel’s courtyard garden.

TRBusiness enjoyed the opportunity to catch-up with many familiar faces in a location basking in the Florida sunshine, setting the stage for a busy few days of business.
