The 14th EOA Annual Conference, our first ever sold out conference, saw more than 700 delegates meet to be involved, be informed and be inspired.

Held at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole NEC on the 18th and 19 November 2019, the Conference was a huge success, with Keynote Speeches from Sir Charlie Mayfield – Chairman of John Lewis Partnership, Peter Lord and David Sproxton – Founders of Aardman Animation, and Jason Parker – Director of Make Architects.

The conference this year was jointly sponsored by J Gadd Associates & Postlethwaite, with Baxendale sponsoring the EO Awards, The 1:1 Diet by Cambridge Weightplan sponsoring our drinks reception and GLIDE sponsoring the EOA Conference video as well as our Compere Martine Croxall. A huge thank you to all of our sponsors.
