We鈥檙e very much looking forward to welcoming the industry to the SIA鈥檚 national conference.

• reflections on the events of the last 18 months, exploring lessons learned and implications for the future

• skills beyond licence-linked qualifications: an update on the SIA鈥檚 skills strategy affecting individual licence holders, with a focus on apprenticeships, Continuing Professional Development, and centres of excellence
• the direction of the SIA鈥檚 voluntary approval schemes, including a briefing on some of the SIA鈥檚 thinking so far plus a follow-up of the review of the Approved Contractor Scheme that took place in 2018
