Here at NPUK we are really excited for the launch of our Digital Annual Family Conference which begins this evening (25th September). Starting our Conference off with a bang is our “Getting to Know You” sessions, which are taking place over Zoom. These sessions are an informal opportunity to say hello, interact with other family delegates and meet NPUK staff members and Trustees. Throughout the Conference weekend there are several Zoom sessions taking place that you and your family might find useful/fun. We really hope to see you at one (or more) of these sessions…
In this blog post we have outlined all of our fantastic sessions taking place on Zoom over the Conference weekend. All you have to do is select the session that you prefer, click the link to the meeting and join in the fun!
