2022-23 SESN and NEON reminder - book now for the first events!

A reminder that we recently published the 2022-23 dates for our staff and officer networks (SESN and NEON), the first meetings of which are open to book!  Both networks will be a mix of in-person and online events, with the first meeting in person, followed by two online meetings of each network, finishing off the year with an in-person event, most likely a joint meeting of both networks and our Joint Advisory Group, following the success of last year's joint event. 

Following feedback from members, this year we have published provisional agendas for each meeting, to give members a broad idea in advance, of the topics that will be covered at each meeting. 

See below for all the dates and provisional agendas, please save the relevant ones in your calendar if you are a member of either network!
