In 2010 the WES Annual Conference will also combine with the WES Doris Gray Student Conference, the inaugural conference for which was held in Edinburgh in 2009 and attended by 40 students.
The Venues
The main WES Conference, incorporating the Doris Gray Student Conference will be held at Kenwood Hall in Sheffield.
Set in 12 acres of attractive parkland, yet only one mile from the city centre, Kenwood Hall has just recently undergone extensive refurbishment to bring in a more modern contemporary feel.
The WES Annual Gala Dinner will be held on Friday evening at the beautiful Cutlers Hall. This Grade II listed building is the most prestigious venue in Sheffield, offering you unequalled style, service and elegance.
Event Format
The Wes Annual Conference will start at 1000hrs on Friday morning at Kenwood Hall. A series of presentations and workshops will run throughout the day, and guests will then be transported to Cutlers Hall in the evening for the Gala Dinner, with entertainment and guest after dinner speaker. Students attending the WES Doris Gray Conference are also invited to join the Gala Dinner to network with industry professionals.
On Saturday, the main WES Annual Conference will continue, with some sessions being combined with the Wes Doris Gray Student Conference. It is planned for two streams to run in the afternoon allowing delegates to choose their preferred presentations or workshops to attend.
The main WES Annual Conference formally closes on Saturday afternoon, and an informal buffet supper will take place at Kenwood Hall on Saturday evening for those delegates staying overnight.
On Sunday the WES Doris Gray Student Conference will continue with further presentations and workshops, closing with luncheon.
