Location: Winter Gardens - Weston Super Mare
The theme for the 2012 WEAF Annual Conference is "Flying High"- A Celebration of Aerospace and Defence.
The Trade show will again run alongside the conference with stands being allocated on a first come first served basis. The Trade Stand package includes a 3m x 2m space, a table, two chairs, power and two delegate places. WIFI and tablecloths are available at additional cost.
The 2012 conference also sees the return of the pre conference dinner, be sure to book your space early as last year's event was a sell out!
