Venue: Crowne Plaza, Nottingham, NG1 5RH
Date: 11 May 2027
Time: 9:30 AM - 4:30 PM
Fee: Starting from £395+ VAT
The AoC Finance Conference is the leading event for finance professionals working in further education. Bringing together chief finance officers, government officials, key partners and the college finance community, the conference provides an opportunity to explore the issues shaping college finance, funding, accounting and college management. Through keynote presentations, panel discussions and interactive breakout sessions, delegates will gain insight into emerging challenges, share experiences with peers and discover practical approaches to support their work.
Taking place on Tuesday 11 May 2027, the conference will also offer valuable opportunities to build professional connections. Delegates are invited to attend a networking drinks reception on the evening before the conference, providing an informal opportunity to connect with peers and sector partners ahead of the main event. New for 2027, those who are new to the further education sector can also join a dedicated CPD session from 5.00pm to 6.00pm on the evening before the conference, designed to provide useful context, practical guidance and networking opportunities before the main event.
