Conference 2024

Once a year in Shrewsbury, the home of CMA's Head Office, CMA centres come together for our ‘Envision’ conference.  This is an opportunity to learn, network, celebrate and eat together as well as being a time of encouragement, fresh envisioning and equipping for the year ahead.

Our 2024 CMA Envision Conference will be held on Friday 11th and Saturday 12th October 2024. There will be an informative agenda and the conference will also include plenty of social time and a large range of sector-relevant 3rd party exhibition stands. 

For further details please see our Conference 2024 page below in the Spring of 2024:
