Over 100 delegates attended this year’s IQPS AGM and conference. In the afternoon a series of talks and workshops were led by Anne Lonsdale of leadership development company vita-brevis and Dr David Hamilton author of ‘It’s the Thought that Counts’, supported by Wendy Birse. Sessions reflected the conference theme ‘Creating Excellence’ and focussed on the crucial role of appreciation.

The event gave members many opportunities to network and concluded with a champagne reception hosted by conference sponsors Avery Dennison Office Products. Attendees all received a product samples pack donated by the sponsors, including the Avery Wizard software CD for mail merge and label printing. Members and other office professionals who missed out on the free CD can download it via a special link on the IQPS web site www.iqps.org. Free samples and free software downloads are also always available on www.avery.co.uk.
