WHEN & WHERE
NASMA’s Annual Conference 2025 will be taking place from Monday 30th June until Wednesday 2nd July 2025.
We’re heading to Manchester, with plans for a vibrant and engaging conference schedule, and a range of ticket types designed to help you join us.
The event takes place at Manchester Marriott Hotel Piccadilly.
CONNECTION & INNOVATION
We’re proud to announce the 2025 conference theme – Connection & Innovation.
We’re headed to Manchester, where one of the best-known symbols of the city is the worker bee. For Mancunians, this represents a hard work ethic and unity, which we feel are values that are strongly embodied by our NASMA members.
This conference will focus on the strength of our collaborative and supportive NASMA community, and how challenges within our sector, as well as wider economic and social issues, drive innovation.
