FEIFA Annual Conference 2023

Timing: 08:30 until 16:30 BST (17:30 including the drinks reception).

The Conference is entirely complimentary for delegates and attendance is only available to FEIFA members and invitees. As in past years, the Conference will be unique in that it is predominantly designed around the requirements of the delegates, our members. The format, structure and location have all been selected as a result of the valuable feedback that we receive from our membership. Thus the event has always provided significant benefits for them.

Professional Development

An excellent range of speakers and companies have presented in past years and we have a line-up of similar quality arranged for this event. The structure and schedule provide a very diverse day, with significant professional development and training benefits for attendees. Each delegate is eligible for a CPD Certificate, issued by FEIFA, confirming the number of hours of training received.

Format and Schedule

The day is broken up into four sessions, with presentations, an interactive panel session and keynote speeches throughout. Around these sessions are scheduled networking breaks to keep the day interesting and focused.

There will be refreshments available at registration and also during coffee breaks in both mid-morning and afternoon. In addition, a full lunch is also provided. All drinks and food are complimentary for delegates.

Following the presentations and exhibitions there will be a post-event drinks reception; once again this is complimentary for attendees and allows further networking, plus assessment of ideas from the day.

Exhibition Hall & Networking Benefits

There will be a large exhibition area where delegates are able to network and mingle and obtain further information during the various scheduled breaks.

As at past FEIFA events, attendees will no doubt find that, in addition to the presentations, the benefits of meeting and networking with fellow professionals based across Europe, and with a range of providers, proves to be highly advantageous.

Accommodation

FEIFA provides complimentary accommodation at the venue hotel to delegates for the preceding evening, allowing attendees to have an unhurried trip in and enjoy the pre-Conference drinks reception.

Further information on how to reserve this accommodation will be provided about a week after you register for the event. The complimentary accommodation can be requested during the event registration process.

Venue

In 2023 the event will once again be held at the excellent Hilton London Tower Bridge Hotel, which somewhat paradoxically is located in close proximity to London Bridge termini. The four-star, deluxe Hilton is situated within a leisurely five-minute walk of London Bridge train and underground stations, the former being accessible by train from Gatwick in only 30 minutes. It is also easily accessible from all other main London airports.

The hotel is also located close to the Thames, as well as iconic tourist attractions such as Tower Bridge, The Shard and the Tower of London. In addition, the heart of the City is just a short walk across London Bridge.

The hotel has been selected for this convenient location and also due to its excellent business meeting space. The Conference facilities are very high quality and all in close proximity. There will be complimentary high-speed wireless internet access throughout for delegates. The hotel also has stylish, elegantly furnished guest rooms.

Feedback and success

The verbal and formal feedback from all of our previous events has been exceptionally good both from delegates and sponsor companies. In fact, the delegates have always rated the content and organisation very highly, in each past year.

A complimentary pre-Conference Drinks reception will be held on the preceding evening, Sunday 21st May from 6:30pm. Further information on this will be provided to delegates nearer to the time.

Registration on Monday 22nd May will open at 8:30am with refreshments available. The presentations themselves are currently scheduled to run from 9:00am to 4:30pm with refreshment breaks throughout the day and lunch provided. The day will conclude with a post-event FEIFA drinks reception from approximately 4:30pm onwards (and running for about an hour).
