Events Diary

The Care Network Group Ltd is proud to bring you the first care show in the South West since 2008. Let's innovate, inspire and influence through our amazing event.

This event will bring innovation and technology from across the UK to the South West of England. With the South West having one of the largest ageing populations, as well as the largest “outstanding” rated innovators, what better place to showcase the great services and products that are available on the market.

This is your chance to make face-to-face connections, and build long-term relationships with suppliers. You’ll learn about new solutions that lead to innovation within your own business.

Seeing technology in action and in person, lets you see how it could fit into your business, so you’ll leave with a clearer vision of how to make your goals a reality. You will be able to discuss any proposed projects that you may have with experts from within the industry. With so many services and products on display, you are sure to come across new solutions for your company that will prove more cost effective than current models, and with end-to-end integration.

During this one day conference, leading experts will impart their knowledge and wisdom, discussing key trends for the future of care in focused speaker slots. With speakers including Sue Howard, Care Quality Commission, Professor Martin Green, Care England and Vic Rayner, National Care Forum, Jeremy Hughes, Alzheimer’s Society and the Rt. Hon Paul Burstow, SCIE, delegates will hear from those who are at the forefront of shaping the industry. There will also be two dedicated panel sessions providing the chance for the audience to ask questions on the issues that most affect them to ensure a social care system fit for the future and a closing keynote from Frank van Dillen presenting a case study about Hogeweyk, a village located in Weesp, Netherlands where all the residents have an advanced form of dementia. The conference has been designed especially for care home owners, managers and decision-makers to provide them with the latest information and innovation.

The Cleaning Show is the UK's largest trade event focused on cleaning and hygiene. The show provides a perfect opportunity for attendees to spend a highly rewarding day out of the office to source, network and discover new opportunities for their businesses.

The exhibition, conference and series of features attract thousands of contract cleaners, facilities managers, healthcare estate managers, hospitality, leisure and retail managers, public service providers, local government and distributors.
