Alongside the outstanding CPD content, the wellness of the delegates attending is at the heart of VET Festival. We have a dedicated Hub at the event that is devoted entirely to a series of wellness activities that delegates can take part in across the 2 days. There is also a massage station and juice bar and demos within the Hub for delegates to enjoy.
