Conference Overview
Responding to feedback
In a recent member survey “keeping up to date with industry updates and news” was one of the top three benefits of ICR membership. Some of this information is essential, such as the impact of regulatory changes, while other “hot topics” are subject to more debate; hence this years conference title “Essential Updates & Lively Debates”.
Each day, the conference will open and close with question-and-debate sessions covering controversial topics headed by the chief executive of Kings Fund, Niall Dickson, and author and broadcaster Martin Ince. There are chaired debates throughout the conference programme so that your questions and opinions can be aired.
We have also introduced half-day passes for the first time this year, in an effort to make it accessible to more members in these challenging economic times. All conference sessions will be eligible for CPD points and certificates will be forwarded on request after the event.
Streams and Speaker Highlights
There are four streams covering Therapeutics, Raising Standards, Sharing Knowledge and Developing Professionals. This means there are subjects of interest for delegates whether they are just starting out in the profession, or have been in the industry for years and are addressing some of the challenges facing the industry today.
Mama Mia!
We are holding a drinks reception on the Monday evening before the event begins and to celebrate the ICR’s 30th birthday we are having a 1978-themed gala dinner and fancy dress party on the Tuesday night, an ABBA tribute band will be performing which should be great fun!
