The Impact Awards ‘10

We are also pleased to announce that The Impact Awards ceremony will be held at the conference gala dinner on Wednesday evening, 16^th June.  In its second year, The Impact Awards is a scheme organised by PraxisUnico, designed to recognise and celebrate the success of knowledge transfer.  There will also be an opportunity to see a showcase of the shortlisted entries at a pre-conference event.  Further information about the Awards will follow soon.

Accommodation

A limited number of rooms will be held at Jurys Inn Nottingham at the discounted rate of £68.00 until 15 April.  After this date delegates will be responsible for finding their own alternative accommodation.  Further details about how to book a room at the discounted rate can be found on the registration form.  For those of you staying at the hotel/in the city centre, coaches will be provided to take you to/from the East Midlands Conference Centre.

Conference Fees

A further cost saving of £50 can also be made if members register before 1 April.*
