The Legionella and Environmental Action Platform (LEAP 02) will take place at the Discovery Centre in Milton Keynes on 19th of June 2015. LEAP is a charitable not-for-profit water quality event, where delegates debate water quality issues in an open forum. It only costs £95 and all profits go to a water charity.

The event is the second in the series, following the success of last year’s event. LEAP is set up in a way so that everybody can participate in the debate/discussion.

L.E.A.P is a new take on the seminar circuit.

Create your agenda, discuss your issues, so you can solve your problems.
