A reminder that this year’s annual conference will be a two part event.
Based on your feedback, we will be holding series of virtual workshops between 28 January and 1 of February 2023 and there will be a face to face event on 28 February at the Double Tree Hilton, Bristol City centre, Redcliffe Way, Bristol BS1 6NJ.
You told us a number of topics that you would like workshops on and we are currently working with the Department for Education, NHS, Ofsted / CQC, and partners in the charity sector to plan these for the conference.
For the face to face conference, registration will open at 10.30 am with the event starting at 11am. There will be refreshments available throughout the day and lunch will be provided before the formal event finishes at 5pm.
This will be followed by an evening social event starting at 7.30pm. This will give us an informal opportunity to socialise and catch up with other forums, something we haven’t been able to do since before the covid pandemic.
To register for the event, please complete the form which can be found via the following link on Contact’s website: Conference-FAQs-2022-23.pdf (contact.org.uk) This will also give you further information about the event.
Accommodation can be booked directly with the hotel via this link: Available Rooms – DoubleTree by Hilton Bristol City Centre
We can already confirm that we have Ofsted, a Ministerial address and senior members of the NHS England team attending the conference on the 28 February. As well as key note speeches, there will be a Q&A panel and we are working with our partners to host a large scale coproduction session to shape a major policy area.
We will published both agendas, for the virtual and the Bristol conference, early in the new year.
