Due to the passing of Her Majesty The Queen on Thursday 8 September, last week we made the difficult decision to postpone our annual conference, Belonging 2022: Leading on Social Cohesion, which was due to take place on Friday 16 September. A number of our fantastic roster of speakers and panel members were no longer able to appear due to national mourning guidance and we knew many more delegates and speakers might be engaged in organising local events for remembrance and mourning.
We were so heartened in the weeks leading up to the planned conference by the outpouring of enthusiasm amongst delegates and panel members to get together in person and connect with others and are therefore pleased to announce that we will be going ahead on the new date of Friday 2 December. The Belong Network sincerely hopes that you will be able to join us in Manchester on this rescheduled date for a day of inspiring speakers, workshops and in person networking. We can confirm that our three keynote speakers and the themes of our plenaries and breakout sessions will remain the same, as will the start and finish times. Click here to view the schedule.
