WELCOME TO THE

FLBA 2023 National Conference & AGM

This event has now taken place. If you have any questions regarding post-event access to session recordings, please contact the organisers: events@opening-doors.org.uk.

Dear Members, 

This year’s national conference will be hosted in the vibrant city of Bristol, often dubbed the happiest place to live in the UK! Famous for its independent spirit, its eclectic music scene and fabulous food offerings, Bristol is a metropolitan city filled to the brim with character and diverse culture. 

The daytime event will be held at St George’s, a world class independent music venue converted from a Georgian Church, which is also used for conferences, learning and the sharing of ideas. It is located just over a mile from Bristol Temple Meads railway station, in between Park Street and the beautiful conservation park, Brandon Hill.  

Our evening event will be held 5 minutes’ walk from St George's, in the Great Hall of the Wills Memorial Building, which houses Bristol University’s Schools of Law and Earth Sciences. There will be a three course dinner and dancing. 

The conference will include some parallel children and finance sessions, delivered by a host of eminent speakers. The whole day will be live streamed for those who are unable to travel to Bristol, but we very much hope to see you in person.  

Please come and join us for what we are sure will be a highly memorable and enjoyable event.

Best Wishes, 

Sarah Pope, Abigail Bond, Esther Lieu
