The 6th ALP Autumn Conference aims to examine in detail the operational issues facing us during the next 12 months in the FE and welfare to work sectors.

We are delighted to announce that for the first time we have no less than two Ministers appearing as keynote speakers at the Conference. Day One will be opened by DWP Minister for Employment and Welfare Reform Caroline Flint MP whilst DIUS Parliamentary Under Secretary of State David Lammy MP is our Keynote Speaker for the opening of Day Two.

The conference also includes influential speakers from the FE Sector, a diverse range of interactive informative Workshops, an update from the ALP team on progress and successes and for the first time, an insight from the equivalent international ALP provider organisations in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa providing a global perspective on the issues.

Open to ALP members as well as non-members this event is an excellent opportunity to debate and challenge the issues and challenge the key issues of the moment and those that will concern us over the next twelve months, as well as to build valuable networks and partnerships across an increasingly
interdependent sector.
