News from the Board is that APA will probably not be attending Crème this year, after two years when return on invest was not great. "The event organisers traditionally adopt a fairly inflexible approach to stand pricing; which we think are excessively costly in these days of lavish discounts, and when our Members are telling us they are not particularly keen to incur the costs inherent in visiting London," says Gareth Osborne, Director General.Instead, we are in discussions to stage our own event at a major new sporting venue in the Midlands in 2010. We have already approached sponsors, who seem keen to support APA and potential exhibitors (although it will be more Conference focused with a few well chosen exhibitors present) are already asking for prices to start planning budgets. Watch this space as our plans are unveiled later in the spring.

Very disappointing news about Creme, my employer fully supports me in attending especially because of the seminars and the networking opportunity. I hope you are successful in launching your own event but feel that it may be difficult for me to receive support to attend more than one event per year.
