Event / Northern Branch Annual Student Conference 2023

HFMA Northern branch would like to invite finance staff who are currently studying, about to embark on a course of study or need more information before taking the next step to studying to learn, collaborate and network at our first Annual Student Conference.

This full day event will be held at the Clarion Hotel Newcastle South, Boldon Business Park, Witney Way, East Boldon NE35 9PE

The day will be facilitated by the wonderful John Sunderland-Wright from JS Achieve.

With a packed agenda you will take part in Team building exercises, hear stories from recently qualified students and career stories from a regional Director of Finance.  You will also gain an understanding of how to deal with stress and emotions, partner with a Study Buddy and finally go on an amazing adventure!

If you'd like the opportunity to network with like minded colleagues from across the region please ensure to book your place on this free development event.
