The AGM itself will be open only to NOEA members but will be followed by Chatrooms on the Monday, Wednesday and Friday of the week, culminating in a ‘virtual drink’ for everyone involved.
Monday 16th November
Chat room will focus on the past and will look back on what has been a been a horrible past six months for the industry, and to take learnings from it.
Wednesday 18th November
The Present and will involve a discussion around Local Authorities and Licencing.
Friday 20th November
The Future – Chatroom will offer the chance for delegates to look to the future, taking inspiration from those events that have managed to find some success over the period and into 2021.
