ALN conference 2025

We are pleased to say that once again we're running our annual conference split between an online and an in-person day. More information will follow over the coming months, but a few key pieces of information follow:

The wholly online day will be held over Teams on 18th June 2025. The in-person day will be in Manchester on 11th July 2025.

Our theme (full details, including suggested sub-themes soon!) will be Sustainable Innovation: moving forward in challenging times and we expect our call for papers will go live in early February 2025. 

We know our members are rising to the challenge of continuing to thrive while across the sector, finances and staff time is tight. How do we choose what to focus on, what to drop and manage our teams to get them through difficult times? This conference asks how we might continue to move forward, to innovate, and to share the positive changes we’ve made in these challenging times. 

Ticket prices for presenters and early bird bookings will be discounted to £30 (online), £75 (in-person) for ALN members and £45 (online), £110 (in-person) for non-ALN members. (Bookings not yet open.)

We also have a presence on Bluesky, Instagram and Mastodon. Follow us for the latest news on ALN activites, staff development events and details of the ALN Conference.
