This online ADR UK Partnership Meeting aims to foster increased cross-team working within the partnership. We recognise that every partner is making great progress with many achievements along the way. With this conference we hope to encourage dialogue around good practice, share knowledge and network in order to celebrate and learn together.
Advancing together, shaping tomorrow
As we embark on our programme's sixth year, this theme reflects our journey into maturity, and readiness to secure future funding. It highlights our commitment to sustainability and the efficient use of resources while acknowledging the uncertainties of shifting technological and political landscapes. With a critical eye towards our practices, we ask, what could we be doing better?
Join us for this online meeting so together we can celebrate our achievements and shape innovative solutions for the future.

The theme Advancing together, shaping tomorrow encapsulates the ADR UK partnership's ethos: we will not only celebrate all that we have already achieved through cross-partnership working, but also consider ways to move confidently into the future together. Just as in previous years, the conference will serve as a platform to learn from each other and share novel ideas, and I look forward to hearing the day's discussions."
