Independents Day preview: iDay and NEG come together

Last November Proven Track Record (PTR), the force behind the annual Independents Day (iDay) business symposium, and the National Eyecare Group (NEG) announced at the latter’s conference they would be collaborating on a combined event in 2016. The alliance would see Independents Day move from its long-standing July date to the NEG calendar. In just five weeks’ time the first combined event sees NEG run its free-to-attend conference on Sunday, November 6, followed by Independents Night and then iDay on the Monday, November 7. Both conferences are being held at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole and an expanded iShow exhibition will run across the two days of both conferences.
