The Social Policy Association is seeking to appoint an institution or group to organise and run the 41st and 42nd SPA Annual Conferences in June or July 2008 and 2009. Our Annual Conferences generally attract 250-350 delegates from within the UK and overseas. We provide up-front financial support and our conference planning experience is readily available.
Expressions of interest should be sent to Catherine Bochel (via email or at the address below) by January 13th 2006. Organisations will then receive a letter asking for more detailed
information including: detailed costings and supplementary information on the organisation, location and conference facilities. The deadline for detailed applications will be March 31st 2006. The final decision will be announced at the 2006 annual conference at the University of Birmingham.
