The SAPCA Annual Conference & Awards Dinner will take place on Thursday 29 February 2024 at Mattioli Woods Welford Road Stadium, Leicester – the home of Leicester Tigers RFC.
The one-day conference will feature a diverse educational programme and a wide range of high-profile speakers.

Introducing the SAPCA Awards Dinner 2024
The Conference will be followed by the first ever SAPCA Awards Dinner. The event will take place at the Mattioli Stadium, with pre-dinner drinks served at the Brooklyn Hotel.
The dinner provides a great opportunity for networking and for celebrating the quality and excellence of SAPCA members and their work. During the evening, the winners of the SAPCA Awards 2024 will be announced and delegates will also be treated to an after-dinner Q&A session with England and Leicester Tigers legend, Martin Johnson CBE.
