WARNING! FAKE Reservation Service trying to SCAM conference delegates & speakers
We have become aware of a scam where an organisation is pretending to be the designated travel agency for the conference organisers and is emailing invited speakers. If you receive emails from Travelpyoneer / Travel Housing Team, please be careful.
Please ignore the emails and do not reply nor click on any link given by them.
You can also block the domain on your email client. This company is NOT a service partner of ARA. The appointed ARA conference organisers team (Madalina, Rose, Celia, Kate or Charlotte from Opening Doors & Venues) will email you from the domain @opening-doors.org.uk. If you are in doubt at any point, please email us on araconference@opening-doors.org.uk or phone our office on +44 (0) 1562 731 788.

Don't miss the opportunity, join us in Birmingham!
ARA’s 2024 conference will take place in the new BCEC, a purpose built conference venue in the centre of Birmingham.
The 2024 theme is ‘Climate and Crisis: Tackling It Together’ and over three days we address the major crises and challenges facing our communities and our profession, learning from our community and building stronger responses, together. The Climate Crisis is the challenge of an era with the responsibility to take action falling upon us all. Our profession must respond, learn from best practice and find new ways to contribute to the global effort. Our work faces other crises not least funding and resourcing challenges. We are better tackling this together too, and we want the conference to be a catalyst for this.
We had a phenomenal turnout for ARA 2023 - 'Communities' and we would like to build on this and invite you to join us for what promises to be an exceptional conference.
Expect a versatile programme that we hope will cater to our wide variety of stakeholders, an action-packed Information Village and social networking functions so that we can carry on the conversations across three separate evenings.
This website will be updated regularly to provide you with more information on the meeting but general enquiries are also welcome at ARAconference@opening-doors.org.uk.
We look forward to welcoming you!
Yours Sincerely,
ARA 2024 Organising Committee
