Conference Progamme

Taking feedback on your favourites from last year, and bringing in some high quality new faces, we have drawn together a strong and wide-ranging programme which we hope you will be pleased with. Each full day will open and close with exciting and inspiring plenary sessions.

Follow these links for details about the sessions on offer and the speakers this year.

On Tuesday evening, the fundraising event of the year: the annual awards dinner. A pre-dinner reception will provide a relaxed build-up and networking opportunity whilst the post-dinner party and entertainment will offer a chance to let loose for all involved.
