What is the ICAP Conference?
After the toughest two years of business in our lifetimes, the children’s activity sector is well and truly back.
We’ll be celebrating this and looking to the future with how providers can continue to grow and develop their businesses. With an excellent speaker line up, we’ll be covering some key topics over the day-long event held at the prestigious National Gallery in London.
What Past Attendees Are Saying
Read on to see what people who came to the last conference have to say…
The venue, host & speakers were brilliant. The atmosphere was great!
I loved the whole day! The set-up of individual speakers and panel discussions was fantastic and the content was perfect and totally on point - I felt very inspired after leaving. The location was good and I was so pleased that it was on the weekend as I’m delivering classes full-time during the week so I can never attend conferences held on weekdays.
There was a friendly family feel. I didn't feel as if I was in a room full of "competitors".
Informal atmosphere, superb venue and great speakers. Andy is a great representative for the children's activities sector.
I really enjoyed the panel sessions, to hear from people who are being so successful. The morning panel in particular was useful regarding processes and systems.
I loved it! I felt really inspired after and took away lots of tips and ideas.
The conference was really inspiring and also validating - often in our industry there isn't a recognition of the hard work we do as business owners, so to have that taken seriously was fantastic.
All the content was excellent. Lots of great information and varied subjects which would suit both franchisors and franchisees. The sessions were well timed too.
The speakers were especially good and gave some really sound advice that I felt able to implement straight away.
It was a great opportunity to get lots of tips, new ways to view, and meet with other people in the industry.
It had a good balance of speakers and range of topics. I like the fact there was a balance between business advice but also mindset too.
I loved it. A great mix of presentations and very motivating and inspiring.
A great inaugural event and look forward to many more!
The event was well scheduled. A good mix of information. An inspiration.
Great selection of speakers - took something away from all of them even if it was just one ideas/improvement. Very beneficial.
All in all it was an amazing day. I have taken so much away from it. It reinvigorated me and has really helped me to plan the next steps in my business.
All the presentations were interesting and informative.
I thought it had a lovely vibe - relaxed and upbeat, not 'stuffy' like a business conference can sometimes be.
It was very well organised. I loved the short sharp movement between speakers. The sessions were really informative and you learned so much from them. The speakers were all relevant to the audience. The venue was amazing and it worked really well.
The venue was lovely. The content was good. I left feeling inspired to keep trying to build my business. The speakers and panels were excellent choices.
It was lovely to be able to meet other activity providers. Honestly, it's been a revelation! These are my people!
There was a feeling that we are all together and trying to achieve great things. It really connected people who have a similar ethos and passion.
We're
You guys have survived a global pandemic. Businesses that are still standing are the strong ones that are set to thrive over coming years. So great news, that means you’re in the strong category. Your children’s activity business is battle tested, hardened, and proven worthy enough to still be here. That means as the economy grows, it’s now YOUR time to thrive.
But, you might be asking yourself:
- Where’s the children’s activity sector going and what do I need to do to position myself for maximum success?
- How is the post covid economy going to be different?
- Where are the lucrative opportunities and what are the treacherous pitfalls to avoid?
- We'll answer all those questions and more at our 2022 conference.
