As we all hit the road and head home today, we want to say a massive thanks to everyone who made our Autumn Confex in the Midlands such a fantastic event.
To every attendee who joined us, every speaker who shared their knowledge and experience, and all of our sponsors, partners and exhibitors who continue to support the FSOA - thank you.
Your involvement is what makes these events what they are.
After a packed couple of days of learning, discussion, networking and catching up with friends from across the industry, we finished in style last night.
A huge thank you to our sporting double act of former Premier League referee Jeff Winter and striker Dean Windass, who entertained the room with some brilliant stories from their careers and plenty of laughs along the way with Andy Ashworth MC.
And finally, a very special thank you to the people behind the scenes.
Our organisers put an enormous amount of work into making the Confex happen. From the months of planning beforehand to ensuring everything runs smoothly across the event itself, so much goes on that people never see.
We couldn't do it without you.
Safe travels home everyone - and thank you for making the FSOA Autumn Confex another event to remember.
More pictures, interviews and news from the Confex coming soon . . .
See you in 2027!
