Norman Marsden, who contributed the above programme, comments:-
"These conferences were spread over 10 days with every day fully taken up although we did have Saturday afternoon free!  Of interest are some of the speakers including Michael Checkland, then Director of Resources, Television, and Dennis Main-Wilson (who was accompanied by his agent Roger Hancock - brother of Tony) who gave a fascinating and witty talk.  The 'Business Game' was a standard feature of these conferences and involved managing a 'company' over the 10 days by attempting to make the right business decisions."
