2020 Conference Programme announced
This year's 2-day conference promises to be another cracking event with some fascinating new insights, a wealth of practical content to expand your professional knowledge and inspirational illustrations of how widely the HG approach is spreading. Attendance counts as 12 hours of CPD and it's a great opportunity to network with like-minded people.
Places are limited for the conference, which takes places in Leamington Spa on Sat 16th–Sun 17th May, so we recommend booking as soon as you can – there's an early bird discount for anyone who books by 12th March 2020.
We hope to see you there!
