CIPFA Northern Ireland Conference 2007
Delivering More from Less – Surviving the Big Squeeze!
27 & 28 September, Newcastle
The 2007 CIPFA Northern Ireland conference and exhibition is being held in the Slieve Donard Hotel, Newcastle on Thursday 27 September & Friday 28 September.
Money for public services is tight and becoming tighter. Therefore, Conference 2007 addresses just how much further change to public services is necessary and can realistically be delivered as the rate of growth in funding and resources slows down. Is the squeeze on public services becoming almost unbearable?
Now in its 16th year, the CIPFA Northern Ireland conference has built a reputation for providing a bold, imaginative and highly relevant programme of inspirational speakers who are prominent in their field and who come with national and international reputations.
The quality of the conference programme attracts a large and influential audience of up to 300 attendees including Board Members, Chief Executives, Directors of Finance, Heads on Internal Audit and other senior executives from the spectrum of public services.
Most sponsorship packages have been booked by our long standing private sector partners. However, there are still attractive packages available to exhibit at the conference. For further information please contact Emily Kennedy on 028 9026 6774 or via e-mail emily.kennedy@cipfa.org
The CIPFA Health Finance Conference
5 October 2007, London
The CIPFA Health Finance Conference remains the key event for senior teams who are keen to hear from leading figures in NHS finance. In a sleek, refined format, all the major issues will be addressed by expert practitioners and commentators, offering the most efficient means of accessing this information. This year, Richard Douglas will once again be a key-note speaker. David Walker from the Guardian, will chair the event and offer his personal, incisive commentary on the issues that are of keenest importance. As with last year’s re-formatted, one-day event, we expect an audience of around 100 senior finance health professionals.
The CIPFA Central Government Finance Conference
10 October 2007, London
This flagship event is a must for senior finance staff in central government. It will cover prime strategic issues and financial developments within the sector. An expert selection of experienced speakers will look at the key financial arrangements for central government and cover the particular topical concerns of mid to senior finance staff in the central government sector. Topics to be covered include growing financial capability; improving leadership in the civil service; international financial accounting standards; and transforming the Home Office finance function – one year on. Over 100 delegates from across the range of central government finance functions are expected to attend.
The CIPFA Treasury Management Conference
30 October 2007, London
This event is about all the current and forthcoming policy and operational areas for local government treasury management practitioners. With its theme of managing treasury risk and achieving good governance, it tackles all the vital issues in one highly informative and efficient day.
Aimed at local government treasury management teams, because of the breadth of its scope and the universal nature of some of the conference themes, it may also appeal to other colleagues, from non-local government backgrounds. As in previous years we anticipate an audience of around 150 senior finance professionals.
CIPFA in Wales Annual Conference and Exhibition
15 & 16 November, Llandudno
Returning to North Wales in 2007, the seventh CIPFA in Wales Annual Conference will offer a wide and inclusive appeal across the public services, targeting senior finance professionals from central and local government, education, health and the voluntary sector with an audience of 120 delegates expected.
