1. ASUK Conference 2024: Together Again – Connecting together to share experiences, knowledge and hope for the future

When: 12th October 2024

Where: 4* Mercure Birmingham West Hotel, Birmingham Road, West Bromwich B70 6RS

The theme of this year’s get together is Togetherness!

 

ASUK are super excited to bring the AS community together again, after such a long time since Covid brought the world to a standstill.

We would like to invite you to come together, to share your experiences, unite with old friends and have fun making new ones. You will get to hear from AS Experts in the field of healthcare and research, take part in fun-filled demonstrations, and listen to informative workshops.

There will also be time to relax at the 4* hotel with a full leisure suite provided; including a swimming pool, children’s pool, sauna, and steam room and if you are feeling energised, why not hit the fully equipped gym. There will be accessible games and activities as well as quiet spaces for those who want to sit and chat.

The ASUK team will be on hand throughout the event, to offer support and answer any questions, including any guidance on benefits, social care, or education concerns.

There will be a cold buffet provided for those arriving on Friday and lunch and dinner will be provided for everyone attending the conference on Saturday. Activities and hotel parking will be  free of charge throughout the weekend.

Whilst families listen to presentations and connect during the day, children will be entertained with a day out at Drayton Manor Theme Park.

We are currently finalising the agenda for the conference, which as always will be full of interesting topics such as research developments, clinical updates, and personal experiences from the AS community. This year we are also excited to announce the ‘quiz the researchers and clinicians’ sessions, where young people, parents and carers will take to the stage and ask the important questions. This is your day, so please let us know if there are any topics you are eager to hear about, or if you would like to be involved, please get in touch to give us your thoughts.

We know how difficult times are for people financially at the moment, and we don’t want this to be a barrier and stop people from attending the event. If you need financial support to attend, then we may be able to offer a grant to contribute to your hotel and travel costs. Please get in touch so we can discuss further.
