After cautiously waiting to see how the COVID-19 vaccination programme has rolled out in the UK and Ireland, we are happy announce that we will be holding FAME Forum and AGM in-person this year, though with some changes. Historically the FAME AGM has been held the day before the FAME Forum, but because of COVID-19 considerations this year we have decided to hold the two events on the same day in the more spacious venue of Merchant Taylors’ Hall, which will allow for greater social distancing.

We hope to have an informal social gathering on the evening before (Thursday 2nd) but this will be at a different venue.

The Forum and AGM will be on Friday September 3rd in York at Merchant Taylors’ Hall. We will start with registration and tea at 9am and then hold the AGM at 10am, followed by the Forum. You can now book your tickets here https://www.eventbrite.com/e/fame-forum-agm-2021-tickets-165003671423

All FAME members and partner organisations are entitled to two tickets for free and each additional ticket is £85.

If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact us.
