Programme and theme
This year, we’ll be aiming to examine colleges as a force and influence in the community – looking at the value of colleges economically, socially and aspirationally. We’ll be talking about community links, ambition for our local communities, business and commercial links, apprenticeships and more – watch this page for updates over the next months.

The programme will include a mix of plenary sessions for all delegates and a choice of skills-based, interactive workshops. You can pre-book your workshop choices in advance if we receive your conference booking by 22nd November.
