A warm welcome to the AUDE Showcase, a brand new concept event for the association in which we will be highlighting the huge amount of great work done by our special interest groups. The Showcase is being held at the University of Nottingham’s East Midlands Conference Centre on 3 September, with a site tour and hospitality options in the afternoon and evening of 2 September.
The growth of our special interest groups has been one of the many successes for the AUDE community in recent years, and we now have specialist groups in fields including strategic facilities management, sustainability, capital, estates management, space management, BIM, EDI, risk and assurance, small HEI and professional development. The Showcase will give these groups an opportunity to talk to you about their latest work and newest projects. This will be an event where you can grow your own network of practitioners in your field, tap into the latest discussions, and find out how to get involved. The event is for all AUDE members, not just those currently actively involved in one of these groups. It’ll be a learning opportunity too, with exhibitors showing you the latest in operational products and services, and a plenary panel to steer our thinking.
Every AUDE member is welcome, and we’ve held the ticket price at a ‘covering costs’ level of £50 per head. With the focus of the event being on broadening your practitioner network this could be the development event for you if you manage projects in any of these specialist fields, and it is also registered towards your annual CPD hours. What are the projects and knowledge streams you need to be more closely aligned with? Who is running an excellent programme that you really ought to talk to? The Showcase will be an event where you can finally put a face to a name and connect with others working in your specialism, to mutual benefit. Table-top exhibitions, open group meetings, thought-provoking speakers and more! We really look forward to seeing you.
