On the final night of the 2023 UCB ‘Without Limits’ Conference, retailers and suppliers donned their finest movie-inspired costumes and headed to the surprise location of Movie World for a night of celebration and fun.
The event, which was sponsored by Lactalis, was the perfect end to a week of business sessions, education, and trade shows, and gave delegates the opportunity to let their hair down and celebrate the year’s major supplier award winners.
Guests enjoyed a wonderful three course meal along with movie-inspired performances, with the celebrations then heading back to the Royal Pines Hydrate Bar for the Frucor After Party.
