"It is an important discussion forum, and, in their hands, it can continue to focus on a range of issues in an informal, but highly effective way."
- Peter Le Beau, founder of The Virtual Network
The Virtual Network has today announced that the Investment and Life Assurance Group (ILAG) is set to take over its renowned discussion groups after 20 years of providing debate and ideation in the industry. Established in 2001 by Peter Le Beau, The Virtual Network was originally a physical conference but has most recently been run as a fortnightly virtual open-forum.
Commenting on this decision, Peter Le Beau, founder of The Virtual Network, has said:
“I'm delighted that an organisation of the standing and quality of ILAG wants to continue The Virtual Network. It is an important discussion forum, and, in their hands, it can continue to focus on a range of issues in an informal, but highly effective way.”
Jo Stickland, group director at ILAG, added:
“We have actively embraced The Virtual Network; its flexibility and values perfectly align with ours. Our goal is to uphold and build on the legacy of education, discussion, and debate fostered over the last two decades.”
