18 - 20 November 2011
Eastwood Hall, Nottingham

Thanks to all those that came, those that spoke and those that networked till the early hours.  It was another great AFO Conference where real debate, real learning and real inspiration took place.

From Friday evening to late lunch on Sunday, the session rooms and stages were buzzing with headline speakers, presentations, discussions, 'how to do that' sessions and panel debates. The AFO Conference brings together festival and event organisers, associated suppliers, artists, agents and performers in an atmosphere of swapping and sharing ideas, supporting each other and networking to improve our whole festival and event business.

Note for your diary.........AFO Conference 2012. 16 - 18 November.
