On 26 Jan, our previous Rising Star award winners joined forces via twitter to share their experience of the awards. During the tweet chat we asked our awards alumni why individuals should consider entering Rising Stars and to share what they had achieved since winning their awards.
There were so many fantastic stories and tips during the tweet chat and we would like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who took part.
You can see the full conversation by looking up #watctop100 on Twitter or by following @WATC_Updates.
