Strength in Numbers
The Value of Community
Interactive and Informative

An exciting 
programme of events

Our programme of activity combines the very best of virtual and face-to-face to offer you a variety of ways of maximising your membership at The Forum. Work from Home and Hybrid Working has given us a huge learning opportunity to understand how we can network and learn in new ways, making events easier to access, offering great value. Every year’s activity is framed by two flagship conferences in April and November. These are then complemented by regular learning sessions, networking events, webinars, and other group activities both virtually and face to face.
Conferences

A mix of virtual and in-person conferences 

We offer in-person and virtual conferences to give everyone the chance to be involved.
Our virtual conference agenda are always packed with inspiring keynote speakers, practical and interactive Workshops and Technology Showcases to keep you up to date with the latest trends in technology, and how make the most of your technology stack.
Our Community Connection event is our first face-to-face national event for over 2 years, COVID regulations permitting. Places are strictly limited, to ensure safe use of the space. They will be allocated on a first-come basis.

They are unlimited to members with a limited number of invites available for others exploring membership. We have 16 different groups meeting every 3 – 4 months for around 90 mins of discussion.
