Project Forum

We are pleased to offer local public services and NGOs/registered charities the opportunity to present their innovative projects in the 2009 'Project Forum'.

The forum aims to bring a wider range of 'good practice' local projects to the attention of delegates at the conference and to help organisations network more effectively with others who are specifically interested in their work.

• 2m x 2m space supplied with 2 x 1 m white shell stand, name board, spotlight, electric power supply (double socket), table and 2 chairs

• You will be listed as a Project Forum presenter on the conference website and in the delegate pack

A place in the 'Project Forum' costs €650 (£550).

No delegate places are included in this fee. Project Forum places are available only to organisations that have registered one or more delegates for the conference.

How was it in 2008?

"The Project Forum was browsed by most delegates over the 2.5 days, and a steady stream of delegates stopped for information or conversation. I felt that it was a useful opportunity for a professional organisation in the social care sector to promote its activities, with a guaranteed audience of decision-makers. I found it to be useful to meet others from around Europe, all facing similar challenges and problems. The conference was very well attended, with some high-powered participants and a very good spread across european countries and disciplines within social care. These were generally active decision makers from all aspects of social care. They make interesting conversation, and help to put our work into perspective and context."

Kevin Pudney, Social Care Institute for Excellence, UK

"I can confirm that I found the Forum worthwhile and could recommend it to small organisations with something to promote. I was at the conference as a delegate but took a place in the Project Forum to promote a piece of work we have done on independent living. I was able to show a short film and discuss the merits with a wide range of participants from Iceland to Cyprus..."

Andrew Lowe, Director of Social Work, Scottish Borders Council, UK

"Networking was absolutely fantastic. We’ve met colleagues from Sweden and France who we are going to keep in contact with because we’re going through the similar process in different parts of the organization in relation to personal budgets for people."

Jill Guild, Lincolnshire County Council, UK

Exhibiting at the Conference

If you are not a local public service or NGO, or if you would like a larger exhibition space than that offered by the Project Forum, we invite you to present your organisation, products or services in our Conference Exhibition.

This increases your profile at the conference and enhances your opportunity to network over 3 days with those directly involved in the planning and delivery of social and health care, nationally and locally, throughout Europe.

The exhibition area is within the central conference area where delegates meet for coffee breaks and lunch. It provides a spacious and relaxed environment in which to establish relationships with key service providers.

The premium exhibitor package includes:

• 4m x 2m exhibitor space with electric power supply, table and 2 chairs

• Two full delegate places, including Official Reception and Gala Dinner

• A description of your organisation in the delegate pack

• Description and hotlink to your website on our conference website

The package costs €2,500 (£2,000) - or €2,100 (£1,750) for ESN member organisations.
