2008 Annual Members' Conference

The 2008 NCT Annual Members’ Conference and AGM will take place at Stoneleigh Park Exhibition and Conference Centre in Coventry on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 June 2008.

The theme of the conference is 'transitions'. The NCT is all about one of life’s biggest transitions – the transition to parenthood. It is a process that begins well before birth and continues through the early days and years. Our charity is committed to improving this transition for all parents and parents-to-be in the UK. The NCT itself has been in transition as it positions itself to grow more successfully in the future. By the time Conference 2008 takes place the organisational and image changes currently taking place will be complete and we will be ready to move into a new era in our history.

Attending the NCT Annual Members’ conference and AGM is one of the best ways to make the most of your NCT membership and to contribute more to your branch. Members come away from conference uplifted, inspired and full of new ideas and ambitions for themselves and their branches.
