The FAB 2023 Conference, Exhibition and Awards will be returning to the Marriott Hotel in Leicester on 30 November and 1 December 2023.

Join us for FAB’s flagship annual conference for the awarding, assessment and wider skills sector, where you can hear from leading industry experts and immerse yourself in our vibrant workshop programme.

This year we welcome you to:

  1. Hear the key messages around the skills agenda as the political parties ready themselves for the next general election.
  2. Better understand the changing world of assessment and the opportunities and challenges for vocational and technical education (E.g. reducing regulatory burden, championing EDI; and reform across the devolved nations of the UK).
  3. Learn about cutting edge technologies and applications of artificial intelligence (E.g. what steps can AOs take to reduce burden using technology? How can AI boost innovation in the sector? What are the cross-cutting themes for using AI to support social mobility, sustainability and EDI).
  4. Consider how you can proactively embed sustainable, green strategies and actions in both your offer and your operations. (E.g. how to ensure qualifications promote positive environmental impact, reducing your organisation’s environmental footprint; increasing use of digital technologies; embedding climate education).

We look forward to welcoming delegates to the prestigious FAB Awards dinner, sponsored by Advanced Secure Technologies, at the end of the first day of the FAB Conference on 30th November. Now in its 8th year, the FAB 2023 Awards recognise the contributions made by awarding organisations and their employees to education and skills in the UK over the past year.  The awards finalists were announced on the 23rd October and you can download the press release here.
