Alisha Lyndon, CEO, Momentum ITSMA, shares her thoughts on the future of client growth strategies and what the next chapter of marketing has in store.

Jez's keynote will delve into the critical importance of a client-centric approach, where high performance is not just a goal but a shared journey, achieved through intentional behavior change and results-led leadership.
