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.
CALL FOR PROPOSALS
Are you interested in shaping this year’s conference?
We are looking for input that stimulates discussion, shares good practice, and inspires delegates to reflect on their own practice. For example, you may have an inspiring success story to tell, you may wish to share how collaboration with other teams (internal or external) allowed you to overcome a challenge, or you may have developed initiatives with other teams (internal or external) that others could learn from.
Your participation shapes the conference agenda and ensures our event is inspiring, valuable, and encouraging. Being part of the conference agenda is also an excellent development opportunity that can raise your professional profile and help you develop new networks with sector colleagues.
There are lots of ways to get involved, and if you want to discuss an idea before submitting a proposal, we’d be more than happy to hear from you.
If your proposal becomes part of the conference schedule, and you are a NASMA member also planning on joining us for the conference, you will benefit from a 25% discount on your chosen conference package.
To submit a proposal please download THIS form.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact office@nasma.org.uk
The deadline to submit a proposal is Friday 28th February 2025
