#SPANC25 AGM – Time to submit your motions now
Now open: the SPA National Editor Survey 2025 needs you
Your say on the SPA: 2025 AGM agenda
This year's SPA National Conference is almost here, and we can't wait to be in Exeter for #SPANC25.
We've got a jam-packed agenda of panels, workshops, networking and awards ahead as we prepare to descend on Sandy Park Conference Centre on 4-6 April.
One of the most important things we’ll do over the course of the weekend will be holding our Annual General Meeting. Every year we bring our members together to elect a new committee, as well as determine the focus of our organisation for the year ahead.
This year’s AGM is going to be held on Sunday 6 April, the last day of #SPANC25, at 11:30am.
We’ll be discussing any motions which have proposed by members, receiving a Trustees’ report and financial accounts, as well as electing all six Executive Officers.
