What's Floating Around Cloud 9? 9 September 2013

Welcome to another week and we're in full Fresh mode with the approach of the Freshtival. 

If you haven't booked yet then its time you did as this three day celebration of creativity and innovation is about to hit Manchester in a big way...

We didn’t want to make the Freshtival another of those overpriced industry events that make it restrictive for people to attend so instead you get to pick your very own package and you can customise your schedule to attend the events you want, when you want. We’ve also added in a couple of options if you want to come along and take advantage of the entire Freshtival schedule over three days, or two…
