What a two days! After an incredible amount of planning, organising and preparation, we were thrilled to have seen the inaugural FRONT take shape. After a full day of bustling business meetings, CPD sessions, networking and seminar presentations – a party was in order. The FRONT 2018 cocktail party created the perfect environment to enjoy a drink and a bite to eat while getting the chance to work the room.

The crowd was diverse – exhibitors, clients, attendees, designers, facility managers – but one thing was for certain, it was the perfect melting pot to mingle in.

Relive the revelry, take a scroll through the cocktail party for FRONT 2018!
