Badminton England National Volunteer Conference 2020 – Registrations now open!

Building on the success of last year’s inaugural Badminton England National Volunteer Conference 2019, we are pleased to announce that registrations are now open for next year’s conference!

The 2020 Badminton England National Volunteer Conference will take place on Saturday the 14th March 2020 at the ICC in Birmingham, and we would like to invite all volunteers who keep badminton running to attend!

The aim of the 2020 conference is to improve the experience of volunteering within badminton, so volunteers feel more valued in the community and by Badminton England. We want to arm our volunteers with the appropriate tools and knowledge to play a key role locally in increasing the number of people play badminton.

The 2019 conference focused mainly on volunteering, and key aspects of recruiting, retaining and rewarding volunteers within clubs and league.

Following feedback from the first conference, the 2020 event will look to include more aspects of club development and support, giving attendees the choice of a wide range of learning topics with practical tips which can be implemented within their local club, league or county association.

Tickets for the conference are priced at £10 per person which includes a full day’s attendance at the conference (including two workshop choices), lunch and a ticket to watch the Yonex All England Semi-finals (evening slot), 5pm – 10pm.
