We are delighted to advise that AIO will partner with NEG at their Conference in October at St George’s Park Hotel, Burton-on-Trent on Sunday 18th and Monday 19th October 2026.
The Conference entitled ‘The Future’s Brighter Together’ will bring together all true Independents, whether members of NEG and/or AIO (or of neither) in one place at no cost for entry.
The two-day event will include CPD workshops (with at least 12 CPD points available), business lectures, supplier exhibition. and a Gala dinner. There will be two keynote speakers – on Sunday this will be Paleoanthropologist, explorer, and TV presenter Ella Al-Shamahi and on Monday Sir Clive Woodward, England Rugby world cup winning coach.
With an exciting program across the two days as well as the Gala dinner, NEG and AIO are encouraging all true Independents to come and stay at the venue to enjoy both days, and to network and socialise. The hotel offers great accommodation, which has been subsidised down to a rate of just £175 + VAT and includes a three-course dinner (with entertainment) bed and breakfast.
