National Children & Adult Services Conference

27-29 November 2024

NCASC

The event is aimed at all those from local and central government, voluntary organisations and the private sector with an interest in the provision of effective services for children, young people, their families and adults, including health, social care and education.

The exhibition offers over 80 organisations the opportunity to showcase and promote a wide variety of services and new ways of working with local authorities, statutory providers and other colleagues across the social care, education and health sectors.

The exhibition runs in hand in hand with the conference. All refreshments, including lunches and drinks receptions, take place in the exhibition area ensuring that all delegates regularly make their way through the exhibition area.

We sincerely value the support of all the organisations that offer support for this event and appreciate the huge amount of time, cost and effort involved.
