Headline Speaker
Soaring high with Eddie 'The Eagle'.
Eddie ‘The Eagle’ Edwards is Great Britain’s first Olympic Ski Jumper.
Eddie was ranked 55th in the world which qualified him as the only GB applicant for the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary.
With the UK firmly backing the plasterer from Gloucestershire, Eddie took to the slopes followed by a whirlwind of international press and media.
Eddie competed in the 70m and 90m jump events but unfortunately came last in both events.
Although he did not win an Olympic medal, he did win a place in the hearts of spectators all around the globe. This was ultimately due to his lack of success, but more importantly, his pure determination and ‘have a go’ attitude.

The APA Conference is a great mixture of interesting topics, speakers and insight and that's why I love it so much. It's like being in a group of friends, all having the same issues in our profession and learning hints and tips from those that have cracked some of these issues and celebrating our successes. It has just an amazing, friendly vibe about it that not many conferences have.
