The Care Show Birmingham Celebrates its Successful Return, Reuniting the Care Community this October
Maureen Asefeso, Registered Manager commented that is was “A great event, especially after spending almost two years away! The event was well thought through and executed, an enjoyable and insightful couple of days”.
There was a real buzz in the air as the Care Show reunited care professionals from a variety of different settings, from home care to residential care, and everything in between.
Care Show was a place to educate, inspire, and provides an opportunity to meet other influential professionals across different social care offerings. The two-day event consisted of a comprehensive conference programme delivering accredited CPD education, 200+ leading suppliers in the exhibition hall and was a place to facilitate important discussions through networking.
The show gathered visitors, exhibitors, and world-class speakers once again. “The energy in the room was amazing. New ideas were the currency of the whole conference, and the buzz was electric.” Daniel Casson, Managing Director.
In-person learning has been especially missed during this pandemic. Care Show 2021 meant that individuals could finally access hours of live content, engaging with speakers and associates for an enriched education experience. Delegates could choose from over 80+ CPD accredited interactive lectures and practical workshops across five different theatres.
“Very inspiring two days the speakers where fantastic and I will definitely be coming again next year” Kirsty, Director.
