Events

Members of our three National #TrustLeaders Networks are eligible to join a variety of events throughout the year featuring leading experts and thinkers on strategy, policy and organisational development. These events take place either online or at high quality venues in the Midlands. All of our national network sessions (CEO, COO & Education Executives) are set well in advance and can be found at the bottom of this page so colleagues can save the time in diaries early.

In addition we run an annual National #TrustLeaders CEO Conference (for CEO members), where our CEO members are entitled to invite a guest, and our annual National #TrustLeaders Symposium (open to all of our CEO, COO and Education Executive members).

Please note, you must be a member of Forum Strategy’s networks to join our Events.
