Cardiff Met Conferences Keeping you in the Know Recent Events It’s all about team work and planning to make sure an event runs smoothly. Conference Services work with internal departments and schools to provide advice and support on hosting conferences as well as assisting in arranging the logistics. We’ve been involved in assisting a number of departmental conferences and events this year, here’s a snapshot of what went on; Prisoners’ Education Trust On 16th September Cardiff Met hosted the Prisoners Learning Alliance conference at Llandaff campus. Over 150 prison educators, academics, support staff and prison professionals from all over the UK attended to discuss how education can play a significant part in helping reduce reoffending. The conference was launched by Chair of Governors Barbara Wilding, included a keynote speech from a Prisoners’ Education Trust alumni and several awards were presented by Jo Stevens, shadow justice minister. Read further information about the awards.
“Many thanks for your role in facilitating the Prison Learning Alliance event so efficiently on Friday. The feedback from all the delegates on the day was extremely positive, about the event, the organisation and the venue. All the people I met were extremely complementary about both the conference and the venue. The School of Management was a perfect setting and showed off Cardiff Met's assets perfectly.” Jamie Grundy, Widening Access
Massage Training Institute Back in April we hosted the MTI Conference in association with the School of Health Sciences. The day saw 150 delegates enjoying 10 diverse and informative workshops and a range of stalls offering samples and gifts. The theme for the conference was ‘Self-care for Massage Practitioners’. The keynote speech was presented by Darien Pritchard who shared his extensive knowledge about posture, hands free massage and how to have a long and happy career by taking care of your body while working.
