Annual Conference dates for your diary!

Posted: 24th March 2026

Please be sure to mark 13th and 14th November in your diary for the ASAO Annual Conference. This year, we are delighted to be hosted in West Sussex, where our ASAO Chairman, Corrie Ince, looks forward to welcoming members to the South of England Showground.

We have two full days planned, featuring speakers, workshops and syndicate sessions, along with plenty of opportunities to connect with familiar faces, meet new colleagues and network with other shows. Many of our supplier members will also be joining us to support your needs and discuss ideas for your upcoming events.

We will soon be finalising discussion topics and inviting speakers. If you have suggestions or would like to recommend a speaker, please get in touch with Jenna or Pam. We are always keen to explore current and relevant issues within our industry.

Accommodation will be available at the Holiday Inn at Gatwick, just a short drive from the showground. Transport can be arranged for those flying in. Our annual dinner will take place on Friday evening, though this year it will be less formal and not black tie; a perfect opportunity to relax in great company.

All our members are welcome!

Bookings open early Summer 2026.
