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.
