To conclude, a special dinner was arranged which did not bring together all of the events speakers, but brought a selection of emerging artists into contact with curators, publishers and supporters of the arts who are notable for their generosity and support of emerging practice. Undergraduate and Postgraduate Photography courses across the country were invited to nominate a recent graduate – who had not yet received the acknowledgement their work merits – to join the dinner. Food was prepared by Leo and Scott, an emerging South London caterers, who prepared a special menu that encourages exchange and interaction.
