#SPANC25 - submit your motions now
The SPA National Conference 2025 (#SPANC25) is just weeks away. For those who have already bought their ticket, that means you get to look forward to a jam-packed agenda of panels, networking and awards.
For those who haven't - you haven't got much time left to join us at Exeter's Sandy Park Conference Centre from 4 – 6 April, in partnership with Exeposé.
One of the most important things we’ll do during the conference will be holding our Annual General Meeting (AGM). Every year we bring our members together to elect a new committee, as well as decide the focus the SPA 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.
The deadline to submit motions is Sunday 16 March.
We’ll be discussing any motions proposed by members, receiving a Trustees’ report and financial accounts, as well as electing all six Executive Officers.
