"Best conference ever" 3 words that have made our day! Yopa Property chose The National Space Centre for their end of year conference and evening awards celebration on Friday. It was truly spectacular! 250 delegates, the entire centre exclusively, all day and all night. Just wow! More photos and a video case study to follow, what this space! #nationalspacecentre #conferences #christmas #uniquevenues #venuehireleicester
“Best Conference Ever” The general consensus from the hundreds of people who joined us at the National Space Centre on Friday, for our Conference followed by our awards evening. #BeyondBoundaries2025 🛸🌎🧑🚀🪐🚀 Over 250 of our agents, mortgage brokers, business owners & central support teams assembled for a day of reflection, learning, celebration and planning for 2025. 🌟 Congratulations to all our award winners, and nominees, for their fantastic achievements this year. We have achieved so much together this year, but as I say often “we haven’t come this far, to only come this far”. 🌟 Huge thanks to all our sponsor Business Partners for their support on Friday and all year long. These are relationships that matter to us and we simply could not do what we do, without you. 🎥 Thank you to the many people who helped bring our vision to life especially the incredible PVS Media - the 360 videos were literally “out of this world 🌍”. Thank you Chris, Nick & team! So many of my team played key roles across the day and evening, we could not have done it without you 🫶 The energy and vibe in the Space Centre from 10am, through til the wee hours, was palpable - the collaboration, team-ship and friendship was visible for all to see. 🩵 Observing the support (and dare I say love) around the room for colleagues, business partners and friends, was just incredible and very special to witness. 🤩 Its easy to talk about culture, but its more difficult to touch, to feel and to evidence. Not on Friday 13th at NSC in Leicester - it was visible in abundance for all to see. It’s the fuel that has, and will continue to, propel us beyond any boundary. Thank you team Yopa Property & Scout Financial Services – an exceptional way to end our year 🩵💚 Steve Anderson Alastair Thornton Catherine Perry Grant Nichols Angela Toghill Jeevan Sangra Jessica Draganescu Christian Bartley Jason Bull Simon Elliott Daniel Bishop Anthony Conroy Tom Greenacre Isaac Bull Graham Miles Emily Little Rose Kay (Parsonage) Terry Russell

Thank you to KIRKBY LA THORPE CHURCH OF ENGLAND PRIMARY ACADEMY for their kind gift of flowers to a member of our Bookings team for helping them with last minute changes to their visit. Sarah is one of a team of two who deal with the bookings for over 80,000 school children a year. This includes lots of really complex juggling to fit in shows, workshops, talks, tours, lunch slots, and shop visits. On top of this the team deal with all the bookings for our portable planetarium, video learning, and uniform group visits.

🌑🚩 Can countries own part of the Moon? How about private companies mining it, or asteroids, for resources? 🚀 In the 1950s we started to launch rockets into space. By 1967 the Outer Space Treaty was developed but is it still fit for purpose as we look to explore the Moon, Mars and beyond? https://lnkd.in/e3zFw_Dn
