Wow, Losing Control 2019 was quite something, wasn't it?

In many ways it surpassed all our expectations: it feels like we are now part of a growing and supportive community, one with real forward momentum and opportunity.  

It also laid bare some anticipated, and some unexpected, challenges as we start to put momentum into action. 

We believe the power of this network will be in a truly diverse group of people across all sectors, experiences and walks of life feeling able to connect and to share openly and honestly their practical challenges and insights. 

We’re already thinking hard about how we do that – we are busy going through all the feedback, collating resources and questions from attendees and session hosts, following up on ideas and connections.

So they’ll be plenty more to follow over the coming weeks, but in the meantime we wanted to take the chance to say THANK YOU and highlight a few simple ways you can engage, get the most from the network and help shape where we go from here.
