Members, senators and friends from chambers around the UK and beyond came together in Belfast at the beginning of the month to attend the JCI UK National Convention - and a superb event it was!

Training, keynote speakers, public speaking, debating and extempore competitions, unforgettable socials and a gala dinner and awards ceremony that was truly spectacular - yes, that's how JCI UK mark the end of the year.

A huge congratulations to the JCI Belfast team who organised this sparkling conference - they truly extended a very warm welcome to everyone who attended and did their best to ensure that every need was met! Thanks also to the sponsors of the event - especially Invest Northern Ireland.

So if you missed out (shame on you), make sure you don't make the same mistake twice - the JCI UK National Convention 2013 is already taking shape...so we'll see you in Leeds on 22nd November 2013...
