As many of you might know, we are currently deep into the final planning stages for very first online National Training Event.
That’s right, the event, which normally takes place at the fantastic National Conference Centre in Birmingham, is being held entirely online due to well…2020. The event, which we announced Friday 30th October, is the highest anticipated event of the year, as we bring our beloved event format right to your screens with the help of BrightTalk.
Putting an online event together of this scale is certainly no small feat, and we’re so excited to see the event come to life with all the things we have planned.
With all that in mind, we thought we’d put together this quick list of the top eight reasons why you need to join us, and hundreds of other members, on November 26th.
1. Enhance your knowledge
Whilst the event may be taking place in a very different format to usual, some things will never change, and the biggest is the chance to impact your business with advice from industry experts.
Surrounding yourself with the right people, even if it is in a virtual setting, can help you bring about some major changes to your business. Plus, with the constant changing and adapting 2020 has given us, hearing from those in your industry on how they’re tackling the significant challenges of 2020, is worth checking in for.
2. We’re pulling out all the stops
Like you, our team has constantly been adapting to the things 2020 has thrown at us, and after we were unable to host our June National Training Event, we wanted to ensure that we could bring the November edition to your home.
Since then, we’ve been non stop in organising this event, talking with providers, lenders and learning feedback members have provided from our webinars, so that this event, this virtual version of our National Training Event leaves you with plenty of information, and inspiration to tackle the rest of the year.
