HighQ Forum, London 2015 in tweets

The HighQ Forum, London 2015 was our biggest and our best client event yet. We welcomed more than 100 clients to the Oxo2 in the OXO Tower for an afternoon of inspiring talks and enjoyable networking with like-minded legal IT professionals. We had a great turn out and the atmosphere was fantastic on a hot June afternoon next to the Thames. Thanks to all of you who came along!

For those of you that couldn't make it (or those who came along but didn't make notes) we'll be posting round-ups of all the talks in the next few days. In the meantime you can get a picture of the event by having a look through the tweets that buzzed in throughout the day.

We were busy prepping in the lead-up
