Conference Resources
ACRE held its annual Fieldworkers’ Conference on 8th and 9th June in York. We hosted almost 100 delegates and speakers over two packed days comprising more than 20 workshops and plenary sessions. We are very grateful to all our delegates and speakers who made RuralCAN 2010 such an excellent Conference.
Sessions ranged from best practice in developing surveys, strategic influencing skills to fuel poverty and developing housing in flood risk areas. Initial feedback from delegates and speakers has been very positive and we are surveying delegates further to help develop a better conference for 2011.
