Venue
We chose the city of Liverpool to celebrate our 100-year anniversary and bring our communities together.
We’ll be holding our conference at the Arena and Convention Centre Liverpool, most commonly known as ACC Liverpool. ACC Liverpool is a leading conference and event venue on the former Kings Dock and on the banks of Liverpool’s world heritage waterfront.
