We are pleased to announce that this year JPN will once again be organising a two day conference to consider and discuss some of the challenges and opportunities currently facing our sector. It’s our only national meet and a great place to network, so there will be plenty of time to mingle with colleagues. There’ll be lots of live music, and we will also be staging our AGM.
For 2017 the event will be hosted by Leeds College of Music and we are very grateful for their generous support.
Full details after the jump!
When?
Monday 26 and Tuesday 27 June
To allow travel time we will be starting at midday on Mon 26 June and finishing at 5pm on Tues 27 June
