(Attendance at all the listed CPD seminars is FREE OF CHARGE, and delegates are welcome to attend ANY or ALL sessions.)

As you can see, the issues are all highly topical and very relevant to most sectors of the industry. You might like to book for a complete ‘session’ i.e. all the seminars in the Room/s for either the whole afternoon or the whole morning. This will enable you to maximise your attendance at the event and, of course, your CPD time. It also means that if more than one person from your organisation is coming, different ‘sessions’ can be attended by each or all of you, with the knowledge gained being shared at a later date – it’s all part of CPD.
Please tick in the appropriate box, complete your name and address details and then click on the "email" button at the bottom of the form. We will send a you confirmation of your booking and a map. 

If you have any special needs requirements, please indicate these in the box provided, so that they may be accommodated
