SUMMARY:NABMA Annual AGM & Conference 2022
DESCRIPTION:The NABMA Annual Conference will be at DoubleTree by Hilton Harrogate Majestic Hotel & Spa and the rescheduled details are now: \nYour invitation to NABMA 2022\, our Annual Conference and AGM which is being held from the 27th & 28th October 2022 at the Double Tree Hilton Harrogate Majestic Hotel and Spa. \nA most popular venue on the NABMA circuit of conference venues. \nNew dates for the AGM and Conference 2022 are now 27/28 October at the DoubleTree by Hilton Harrogate Majestic Hotel & Spa \nWe are very grateful to the majority of the original delegates that have rebooked the October dates. \nAs a reminder\, we have managed to renegotiate a two day/one night Conference on 27/28 October. Going later in the year would result in clashes with Christmas events and also probably impact on our January event. In the financial interests of NABMA therefore we took this option despite recognising the huge logistical challenge of rearranging and delivering a conference in less than 6 weeks. \nAt the moment our reduced allocation of hotel rooms is full and we are still in negotiations with the hotel to try and secure additional rooms. We are however offering the below packages that give you flexibility to attend conference but make your own accommodation arrangements. \nPlease note that we have now reached the point were all our allocated hotel rooms have been taken. \nHowever\, we are still taking bookings for NABMA members only and are offering packages that are now exclusive of accommodation. This enables delegates to attend the conference and make their own arrangements for accommodation either in Harrogate itself\, or slightly further afield when rates may be cheaper. \nBookings are now live for this event. \nRevised Conference Packages \nPACKAGE A\nAs originally advertised is no longer available \nPACKAGE B\nThursday and Friday Conference\, lunches and Gala Dinner\n£225 plus VAT \nPACKAGE C\nThursday Conference only plus lunch\n£150 plus VAT \nPACKAGE D\nFriday Conference only plus lunch\n£100 plus VAT \nIf you wish to take advantage of these revised offers then we ask you to book early to be sure of your place(s). \nBookings are now closed for this event.

SUMMARY:NABMA/SLCC - Markets\, Local Councils and Supporting Communities
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the pandemic markets have provided essential services to their local communities. Many markets are now operated by local councils and more are considering delivering this important local service that can help regenerate high streets and town centres and provide start up business opportunities. \nMarkets can also be an important part of the levelling up agenda in terms of improving public services and helping to restore a sense of community and local pride. \nThis event will look at recent changes to legislation in terms of planning and the use of public realm. Importantly it will discuss how a local council can operate a market\, both in terms of legislation and a policy framework. It will also share good practice and case studies from successful markets. \nNABMA Members can book here

SUMMARY:NABMA Midlands and Wales Regional Conference - Cancelled
DESCRIPTION:Unfortunately\, despite best efforts\, we have decided to cancel the Midlands and Wales Event on Thursday 23 June due to very low numbers as booked.

We hope that NABMA members will support this next free event. \nYours sincerely\nDavid Preston (BA Hons)\nChief Executive\nThe National Association of British Market Authorities

Forest Row is a multiple  award winning market including having the accolade of being a NABMA Best Small Community Market. Bridport has a market tradition stretching as far back as 1253 rivalled by Saffron Walden with a market charter from 1141. Saffron Walden even boasts Jamie Oliver as one its regular market customers. Downham Market is widely regarded as one of Norfolk’s oldest and best market towns. Each of these markets are at the heart of their communities  and local history. \nLocal Councils have had a tough time during the pandemic. Little or no money has been received from government and the resulting impact on local finance has been severe. The updates from each of our panel will be very different to previous events. \nWe ask our panel – how has the pandemic impacted on them as individuals and  their markets? What are their plans for 2021 and beyond\, and how do they see the future of the markets industry? \nIt should be another fascinating conversation – don’t miss it. \nBOOK NOW  \nBookings are now closed for this event.

SUMMARY:NABMA One Day Virtual Conference 2021
DESCRIPTION:When is it? \nNABMA is pleased to announce details of its popular One Day Conference that will be held on: \nThursday 4 February 2021 from 0930 to 1330 by Zoom. \nSadly\, we will not be able to meet at the Council House\, Birmingham as usual for the first major markets event of a new year\, but we can bring everyone together\, either in your office or at home\, in a digital get together. We hope you will join us. \nOur Conference discussion. \nWithout doubt 2020 has been an unprecedented year of worry\, change and threat to markets and market people. NABMA surveys suggest that many in the industry have concerns and a lack of confidence about the future. Others have a different viewpoint as some markets are suggesting that emerging from the pandemic is their moment in the sunshine as they experience a renewed trust\, and both returning and new customers. A consistent viewpoint however is that markets can play a leading role in supporting firstly the survival\, and then the renaissance\, of our high streets. \nSo\, our Conference will pose the question as we enter 2021– are our markets really in crisis? \nWhy should I attend? \nThe conference will be of interest to anyone with a passion and commitment to the future of their markets. As one of the recognised top influences to create vital and vibrant streets then markets can play a prominent role in offering business start-ups alongside their attraction to boost tourism\, employment\, the local economy and social cohesion. We appreciate that our industry will continue to face many challenges as a result of the impact of the pandemic. We are also aware that in recent months markets have demonstrated resilience and a positive appetite to accept change\, that can create new opportunities\, and at the same time attract new people and new ways of trading to our markets. \nOur draft programme \n  \n\nAn invitation has been sent to Kelly Tolhurst MP\, the government Minister with responsibility for High Streets in her portfolio.\nMark Robinson\, Chairman of the High Street Task Force Board who is guiding the work of the Task Force and acting as a national voice for high streets\, supporting them to transform town and city centres.\nJoe Barrett\, co-founder of Teenage Market and member of the Government’s High Street Taskforce.\nA panel session of market experts who will look at how markets and market management will need to change\, evolve and attract new traders to sustain the industry and the high street.\nSessions of good practice from markets that are meeting the challenges in terms of use of social media\, modern technology and encouraging cashless operations to reinvent themselves.\nThe award ceremony for the NABMA promoted Blachere Illumination Market Heroes 2020 as we recognise both markets and market people that have made a difference within their communities during the pandemic.\n\n  \nBooking Arrangements \nOur aim is to bring as many markets people together as possible to discuss the future of our industry. We have therefore decided to keep costs low with an individual NABMA delegate fee of just £50 plus vat. \nNon NABMA members are welcome to join with us at £75 plus vat per delegate. \nBook Now here https://nabma.com/nabma-one-day-virtual-conference-2021/ or below\n  \nNABMA looks forward to our One Day Conference and the chance to bring the NABMA family and friends together at the start of another challenging year for markets. We do hope you will join us. \n\n                    LYLM Digital AssetsFirst NameLast NameMarket / Authority NamePlease send the LYLM digital assets to me via: WeTransfer by Email Shared Dropbox Folder Shared Google Drive Folder Direct Download Link (Zip File)Email Address for above selectionRequest the Digital Assets            \n            \n
