PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
The future of event delivery Fast forward to today and our virtual platform is as much a part of our event programme as our face-to-face events ; indeed in our recent survey , you voted overwhelmingly for a continuation of a mix of event formats , and that ’ s exactly what we intend to deliver !
So , what can you expect ? Well , at time of writing , we are just about to go back out on the road with our Investment Forums , visiting 21 venues across England ( and Wales ) and our final round of Professional Development Events in Scotland , Northern Ireland and stretching into Durham . We ’ ve some great sessions on the way from our partners , who have been fantastic in supporting our events over the years and especially during these rather unusual times we have endured . Alongside those physical events , we ’ ve compliance clinics , an Advice Show and mortgage fraud and AML awareness virtual sessions coming up before the year is out . Moving into 2022 and you can expect a rich blend of learning and insight , covering a vast array of subjects across both physical and virtual events – ensuring there is a real choice to suit all learning needs and preferences .
The events programme takes a great deal of time and effort to create and to deliver and isn ’ t possible without the support of our partners and the dedication of the events team and our wider colleagues . A special mention has to go to Louise Wilson who heads up the events team and to Donna , Zoe and Bianca , who have all worked relentlessly to ensure your events happened . Alongside the team , we have Erin Herbert , who has been instrumental in the creation and deployment of the new virtual events platform – a personal thank you from me to all of those mentioned and to everyone else who has pitched in to ensure we have been able to still deliver the largest event programme of its kind . And finally thank you to all of you – for coming back out on the road , for tuning in , for taking part and for making it all worthwhile !! I hope to see many of you very soon at a venue , or screen , near you !
Take care
