Conference 2025
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 2025 CMA Envision Conference will be held on Friday 10th and Saturday 11th October 2025. 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.
We are pleased to offer the option to join the conference online - live streamed via Zoom.
Further details will be available on our Conference 2025 page below, in the Spring of 2025:
