AUA Annual Conference and Exhibition
University of Warwick, 29th - 31st March 2010
*Early Bird rate extended to 14 March 2010
The 2010 AUA Conference and Exhibition offers over 100 sessions from your professional colleagues and our strategic partners, giving you enormous opportunity to share good practice and experience the full diversity of your profession.
"As we are all put under increasing pressure to do more with less we need to be creative, learn from each other and most critically, be mindful of our own professional development." Maureen Skinner, AUA Chair
The AUA is delighted to have attracted the support of an impressive array of influential speakers this year. We were also delighted to secure Professor Lord Robert Winston as our opening plenary speaker, so it is with particular regret that we announce that Professor Winston is now unable to address us in Warwick, for which he sends his most sincere apologies.
AUA Members will have an opportunity to hear Professor Winston in person on 2 November, when he will deliver the AUA Annual Lecture in London.
In this situation we are indebted to a number of senior colleagues in the sector who have made strenuous efforts to assist us in amending the conference programme. We are delighted to welcome Professor Les Ebdon, Chair of Million + and Vice Chancellor at University of Bedfordshire, to our conference where he will now deliver the opening plenary address on Monday 29 March.
