This year's conference included a very special edition of Who Wants to be a Millionaire? with contestants chosen from the audience to play and win up to £1000 for charity. All questions were related to NEC contracts and there were life lines available including 'ask the audience' and 'phone an expert'. Hosted by Chris Tarrant Woodbridge – did anyone have what it takes to win the big prize?
Our Question Time panel this year included:
Jon Broome
Neil Earnshaw
Nicola Ellis
Barry Trebes
Richard Patterson
Delegates were able to take the opportunity to ask questions about any of their presentations or any other aspect of NEC contracts in general.
The event was held in a new location this year, still a Leonardo Royal Hotel in London, but this time the Cooper's Row hotel, about a mile away from the previous venue and right next to Tower Bridge tube station.
