PIBA Annual Conference 2017
*** All rooms for the Annual Conference have now been sold. We are able to offer some day tickets for the Annual Conference - please email [email protected] to find out more. ***
*** Update: we may have occasional cancellation rooms available - if you want to join the waiting list, please email [email protected] ****
Here is the programme for the 2017 Annual Conference, which runs from the evening of March 31 to lunchtime on 2 April 2017.
Please note that as St Catherine's College has another event on that weekend, you may be allocated a room in a nearby College but certainly within 10 minutes' walk. Allocations will take place when we know final numbers.
The Conference programme is as follows below.
You will no doubt already be aware of the new CPD requirements which start in January, including the new areas of your practice which must be covered by CPD. We are pleased to announce that we have 2 more confirmed speakers: Theo Huckle QC who will be covering aspects of practice management and Tracy Norris Evans from Royds Withy King who will be talking on ‘working with clients’. These talks are of course geared to assisting you in meeting the new requirements from the BSB.
There will therefore be some changes to the following programme to fit in the new speakers.

CPD:
As in previous years, we will be seeking significant CPD points and the programme will be geared to the new CPD system, too! We anticipate the CPD will be at least 8 hours. CPD Provider number 1728.
Prices: - NOW ALL SOLD OUT -
| Call | Fri to Sun | Sat to Sun |

| Silks | £375 | £300 |
Please note that there is an additional £20 discount if you opt to take an electronic bundle!
Please also note that call is by year, not by month within the year (in the same way that we all advertise ourselves as called in a particular year, not a particular month!). We work on a membership year, so Under 3 years' call is call in 2014-16 etc.
How Do I Buy a Ticket?
Because of the large number of options, there are a large number of fields below. Only 4 should be open to you: depending on whether you are coming for 1 night or 2 nights; and depending on whether you want as paper bundle or not. Please choose carefully.

Sorry the fields are not necessarily in logical order - we are trying to fix that.
