What can you expect?

The morning session will include a mix of speeches and panel discussions from key third sector representatives.  The State of the Sector Report based on sector intelligence from Birmingham will be launched and you will hear how things look nationally from the Office of the Third Sector. The Assembly's position paper on worklessness, a result of two lively ‘hot lunch' debates held earlier in the year, will be debated by a cross-sectoral panel.

In the afternoon delegates will be invited to attend breakout sessions of the Assembly networks which are being hosted by organisations and venues around Digbeth.

You can expect lots of opportunity for networking, some lively debate and stimulating entertainment.
