About the 11th Annual 2020 Conference
Based on the positive feedback we received from the 350 delegates at last year's event, we have kept the same format of a full day on Thursday and half-day on Friday.
The start time is set for 9.30am to accommodate delegates arriving on the day. This year we have moved the venue to the Ricoh Arena in Coventry, which is just off Junction 3 of the M6 and has over 2,000 free car parking spaces! There are excellent transport links by train and plane.
Part of our continuing mandate is to make this conference affordable to all progressive firms and this year’s pricing schedule is as follows:
- £185 / €235 + VAT for 2020 Members
- £235 / €295 + VAT for Non Members
A special multi-participant discount is available. We are offering a 30% discount on the basic 8 hour conference rate for any group of 6 or more from the same firm.
We strongly encourage participation in the optional half-day session on Friday morning. This session is free of charge and will include the popular 2020 Member Spotlight.
