Thanks to all who came to R-Net's Summer Social in July. We had a really strong turnout with lots of people swapping ideas and experiences from across the industry - those working in agency and client teams both large and small, plus some people studying full time or running their own consultancies. Some people came with colleagues and others turned up alone but quickly got chatting to lots of new people.
