FACE Summit 2025

We are delighted to invite you to the FACE Summit, which will take place on Thursday 16th January 2025 at Guildhall School of Music & Drama, London.

The FACE Summit will bring together FACE members from across the UK to discuss widening participation policy, reflect on our role within this and agree a collective FACE position on future policy development. We are delighted that John Blake, Director for Fair Access and Participation at the Office for Students, and Will Yates, Policy Manager at Public First, will be joining the day. The finalised schedule will be shared soon, but the day promises to be valuable to colleagues working in widening participation, particularly those working on policy and strategy.

This free event is exclusive to FACE members. Please do not share this invitation with colleagues who are not FACE members. Further details about the event will be circulated on 9th January, once sign-up has closed (see location details below to help you with arrangements). We ask that you are mindful of the event’s limited capacity, and that no more than 2 people from each institution sign-up to attend. If we are able to accommodate more people at a later stage we will communicate this to members.

If you are unsure whether you are a FACE member (e.g. if a colleague forwarded this event to you) please confirm by emailing [email protected] before registering for the event. Non-members are not eligible to attend this event, and FACE is not responsible for any costs incurred by non-members who sign-up in error.

Arrival will be from 9.30am, for a prompt 9.45am start. The event will conclude at 4pm.
