Below you can find a general description of Conference Day. More comprehensive details of what you can look forward to conferencing with P.A.R.K. are accessible by clicking on "register now", alongside in-depth listing of the programme.
WHEN YOU ARRIVE
On the day of the conference, the first thing to do is pop along to the registration tables in the entrance hall. The desks are ordered alphabetically (according to surnames) and it is also here where you should make sure to pick up any relevant lunch or sandwich vouchers, plus your complimentary conference pack.
Please note that doors open at 8.00am, the same time as registration.
WHEN AND WHERE WE BEGIN
We breeze gently into the day with our opening plenary starting in the main auditorium, the entrance of which is on the second floor. We respectfully ask that all attendees arrive promptly at 9.00am to prevent any delays to the programme.
None of our conferences would be possible without our exceptional assortment of presenters. From the opening to the closing plenary, to all our workshops and talks betwixt times, the day presents a really focused window to advance your daily teachings. All of our presenters come with experience and enthusiasm, and an abundance of knowledge between them to companion your own classroom techniques.
WHEN AND WHERE WE FINISH
Winding up the sessions from the day, the closing plenary returns us once more to the main auditorium where we can finish with an upbeat feel, setting the tone good-humouredly for the subsequent after party.
YOU HAVE TO BE IN IT TO WIN IT!
Upon the closing plenary finishing, there is a raffle with a chance to win more than ten prizes from our partners. If you would like to be entered into the draw, please do not forget to hand in your badge upon entering the auditorium at the end of the day.
Not everyone has the time they would like to question, or simply get to know, our fantastic range of speakers. For a small fee hence, all conference participants have a unique opportunity to do exactly this with a "Meet the Speakers" after party. Come along and chat to your favourite presenters from the event, get some solid advice, or just enjoy the social and informal vibe in a relaxed environment. Refreshments are provided alongside wine and non-alcoholic drinks.
ORGANISING SAFE AND ENJOYABLE CONFERENCES
In November 2021 and April 2022, we successfully organised the 26th and 27th P.A.R.K. Conference, adhering strictly to Covid-19 measures. With over 300 people on site, your safety was, and remains, our priority. We therefore give you our assurance that we continue to monitor the situation and check with authorities in order to abide by any relevant legislation for future events.
