2021 ANNUAL CONFERENCE ANTWERP

With just a week to go until registrations open for the EphMRA 2020 Conference, we’re offering a preview of what we have in store for you this June.

As well as being inspirational and topical, our Conference Programme will help you to stop, take a step back and look at things differently. We hope it will be thought-provoking and will give you plenty of ideas to take back to the office and implement.

Stimulating Plenary Sessions

You’ve already met Sue Coyne in an earlier blog and we’ll be introducing you to seven more high-profile speakers in coming months, including a man whose story of overcoming extreme adversity will astound you.

Practical Parallels

We always try to get the balance right for you of motivational sessions and practical, in-depth case studies and discussion. Here’s a taste of what you’ll find in our parallels – the full programme of 21 sessions will be announced shortly.
