The Show Must Go On!
The NACC Training & Development Forum 2020, along with the NACC Awards 2020, will return to the East Midlands Conference Centre, Nottingham, on 7th-9th October as a live event. We take a look at what’s in store.
Following the announcement that business events, conferences and exhibitions can recommence from 1st
October 2020, the
National Association of Care Catering (NACC), is able and ready to safely deliver its annual learning and development event.
The NACC Training & Development Forum brings together its members and care catering professionals for an educational and inspirational two-day programme of keynote speakers, certified training workshops, live cookery demonstrations, meet-the-buyer meetings, supplier exhibition and networking.
With sole occupancy of the East Midlands Conference Centre and hotel for the duration of the forum, the NACC is maximising all available space and embracing technology as the COVID- secure event is meticulously planned, in line with government guidance. The team is working closely with the venue and a specialist health and safety expert to put in place strict measures to keep delegates, exhibitors and guests informed and safe and to ensure everyone feels comfortable throughout.
Sue Cawthray, National Chair at NACC, said: “The NACC Training & Development Forum couldn’t come at a more crucial time and we’re thrilled that we’re able to offer our members and the care catering sector a live event. COVID-19 has created one of the most challenging periods for our sector and the forum gives us all the much-needed opportunity to focus, learn and continue to support each other as we navigate the current climate and remain agile to ensure we continue to deliver vital services.
“The safety of our delegates, exhibitors, speakers and guests is our priority and strict health and safety guidelines will be in place at all times that meet and go beyond government guidelines. Some elements of the event will, of course, run slightly differently to previous years, but we guarantee that we’ll deliver the relevant and inspiring learning and development
- 10 -
opportunities, engagement and networking that care catering professionals expect and appreciate. I very much look forward to seeing many of our care catering colleagues in Nottingham.”
EVENT PROGRAMME
The packed programme has been carefully designed to help delegates navigate the varied challenges of catering for the elderly, vulnerable and young in care environments, be that in care homes or in the community, especially in the aſtermath of the covid-19 pandemic.
The expert keynote speakers set to inform and inspire include:
Debbie Harris, Managing Director, Autumna: ‘Food Glorious Food’ will consider public perception of the quality of food served in care homes and how with increasing investment in the care home sector and an ageing population, the time has come for the equivalent of the Good Food Guide specifically for the sector.
Andrew Cozens CBE, Director, Accain Ltd: The essential question ‘What does the future hold for social care?’ will be discussed by the leading national social care and health policy analyst and improvement specialist with over 40 years’ experience in the social care sector.
Jonathan Cunningham MBE, Inspirational Conference Speaker: ‘Inspirational Care Leadership’ will show delegates the importance of leadership in any organisation, centring on really getting to know your team to inspire, develop and, ultimately, get the very best from them.
Delegates will also have the opportunity to gain further knowledge and new ideas by taking part in certified workshops and watching the live cookery demonstrations:
