About the role
Conference Committee membership is a voluntary role. Members will contribute to planning, decision-making and delivery, and will be expected to take responsibility for agreed areas of work between meetings.
This may include:
- Contributing to the development and review of the conference programme
- Liaising with speakers, committees, special interest groups and regional groups
- Supporting research, poster presentations and parallel conference streams
- Promoting equality, diversity, inclusion and accessibility across the programme and delegate experience
- Contributing to communications, marketing and social media
- Helping plan the 30th anniversary celebration and social elements
- Supporting delegate engagement, event logistics and on-the-day delivery
- Leading or joining short-life working groups for defined pieces of work
- Completing agreed actions between meetings and reporting progress to the committee
We are particularly seeking an organised and dependable Secretary who can help the Chair and Deputy Chair keep the committee focused, accountable and moving at pace.
The committee is expected to meet approximately monthly during the main planning period, with meeting frequency likely to increase as the conference approaches.
This is an active working committee rather than an advisory group. Applicants should only express an interest if they have realistic capacity to contribute between meetings, take ownership of tasks and deliver work by agreed deadlines.

- Your full CV
- A covering letter of no more than one page explaining why you would like to join the committee
- The role or portfolio that most interests you, including whether you wish to be considered for Committee Secretary
- A brief statement confirming that you have capacity to attend meetings and undertake work between meetings
