Learning and Development Forum 2023

Blackpool 2023

The Executive Directorate of The Professional Association for Catering Education (PACE) and Executive of the Association of Hairdressers & Therapists (AHT) have joined forces to stage a Learning & Development Forum for the benefit of each of our respective memberships.

These are exciting times for two very vibrant sectors of the education and training landscape.

During the joint event, we will be offering a broad range of CPD activities for the benefit of all attendees. These will include practical skills workshops, keynote speakers from education and industry influencers, as well as offering exceptional networking opportunities to all. The event will also host a supplier exhibition for Hospitality and Catering delegates.

During the evening, delegates will be able to attend a Gala Dinner which will feature the Annual Awards presentations acknowledging the special achievements of colleagues and their teams from both sectors.

NB: there are two different packages for AHT or PACE Full and Friday attendees - please read the details carefully before booking
