Loughborough Conference 2010

The Institute's annual Conference takes places this September at its usual venue, Loughborough University, over the long weekend of Saturday 18 to Monday 20 September. This is our 22nd Conference and if you consider yourself to be a professional then the N.A.G.'s Institute of Registered Valuers' Loughborough Conference is THE event for you.

Once again the Association's Valuations Committee and IRV Forum has put together a fantastic programme including the ever popular Workshop Sessions with Main Presentations as well as finding room for our regular Open Forum session (now affectionately known as Happy Hour).

As usual we shall cover many topics during this year's programme with a number of lectures and workshops.

This Conference is the only event in the world that endeavours to appeal to all sectors of the trade from junior sales staff to senior partners: all are welcome to attend. Again this year, in conjunction with Bransom Retail Systems, we are offering a free place at the Conference for one lucky first-timer. All delegates attending their first Loughborough Conference will have their names put in the proverbial hat from which one lucky delegate will be drawn and have their fee reimbursed with the announcement at the Conference during the Saturday night evening dinner. Daren Daniels, Sales and Marketing Manager for Bransom, who has been going to the Loughborough Conference for 13 years and was a Registered Valuer for four years says, "Sponsoring and attending the Conference fits perfectly with Bransom's ethos - training and on-going education are of the utmost importance." Daniels continues, "We hope to help the Institute encourage more people to attend the Loughborough Conference and help promote the benefits of meeting in person some of the most knowledgeable people in the jewellery trade who give up their time to educate all who attend; this is a weekend not to be missed."

We hope this will be an incentive to those who have thought about attending but so far haven't.

We also welcome delegates from other trade bodies within the jewellery and allied craft industries to this event. Members from the likes of the BJA, BADA, RICS, NPA, Gem-A etc can attend at special discounted rates for groups of five or more delegates.

This event truly offers something for everyone in the jewellery trade.
