NABMA Launches January Conference 2024

We are delighted to announce the details for our ever popular New Year Conference to be held on Thursday 25 January 2024.

The theme of the conference is ‘Markets at the Crossroads’. We will also announce the Great British Market Awards 2024.

As a reminder, our October conference highlighted the very different picture being experienced by many markets within their local communities. For some there is blue sky. Since the pandemic we have seen certain markets benefit as part of some £127 million of government support.

The government has recently announced it is investing £1.1 billion into 55 towns and establishing a new Towns Taskforce, reporting directly to the Prime Minister. But for many towns and their markets then they are not receiving any of this help. So, what is their future?

This varied position has led to the theme of ‘Markets at the Crossroads’ being the focus for our highly popular January one day conference that again returns to Birmingham.

Once again we are grateful to Blachere Illumination for their continuing sponsorship of this, the first main markets event of a  New Year.

After the success of recent events we are again returning to the very popular Burlington Hotel immediately adjacent to Birmingham New Street Station.

Please book early and we hope to see you in Birmingham.
