AIO 2016 Conference to take place in Cardiff

The AIO has confirmed that its 2016 conference will be held at the Vale Resort in Cardiff on October 9 and 10

This year’s conference will introduce a new feature for people who aspire to move into independent practice, either through acquisition or as a start up operation. The AIO expected this to generate interest running alongside the main lecture programme and CET break-out sessions.

Its programme offered delegates networking opportunities and the chance to hear first-hand experiences from an array of speakers on setting up or acquiring a business. Furthermore, speakers will cover marketing, finance, acquiring equipment and insurance.

Keith Pearce, AIO vice chairman and organiser of this year’s conference, said: ‘We know that there are many people working in the multiple sector that would dearly love to own and run their own practice, but don’t know how to go about it. Our job is to provide help and support and create a roadmap that shows the move is not as daunting as some may think.’
