The stage is set

Today was the day of SIE's student enterprise summit, a really fantastic day, but very busy. We hosted a gala reception, aka party, after the summit. The venue was Le Monde , an unusual venue for a business networking event.
This is the stage area, just before people started to arrive. All the winners of our business competitions came up to the mike to do a one minute pitch. They were completely unprepared, but they did a great job and made my job much easier as all I had to do was say thank you to everyone for their support, and then hand over to the great young companies that we support.
I bailed out at around 10pm, no idea how long the party continued...
