As before, all food and daytime beverages are included in the ticket price. We have kept the cost as low as possible – just enough to cover our expenses.
All food is plant-based, and this is a vegan-led event, allowing us to be kind to everyone.
Last year's conference sold out, and although we have secured a much larger exclusive venue this year – The Derby Conference Centre – we would still recommend getting your tickets early to avoid disappointment.
Please keep an eye on our social media pages for speaker announcements and conference updates.
