What's new for delegates in 2012?

A programme featuring the who's who of commissioning
Commissioning 2012 aims to deliver a blend of practical advice, real solutions, facilitated learning and networking that clinicians and managers can take back to their day to day roles. Six streams cover a range of key interests and responsibilities. Uniting all streams is the recurring theme of delivering better patient care. In response to delegate feedback, we have added two new streams for 2012, focussing on technology and the emerging role of Health and Wellbeing Boards.

Listen, learn, debate
New for 2012, the facilitated learning area will allow you to join a facilitated workshop where you can work with colleagues and other groups on real life scenarios. Lead by a professional facilitator, each session will have a set task to complete as a group, with the objective of leaving with practical solutions that can be
implemented in your locality. Through our new dynamic registration system delegates can not only chose the session, but also the table they would like to join.

Commissioning's hottest debates
Commissioning 2012 will be covering the hottest topics of the day, though we may not know what they all are yet! Our round table programme will allow partners and experts to table hot topics and watch the debate unfold. These lively, less structured discussions are an ideal way to gain insight into current practice and opinion.

The social network
An innovative delegate booking platform opens up new opportunities for networking, both in the run up to the show and beyond.  Delegates will be able to create a bespoke conference programme for themselves, combining their selections from the formal sessions with facilitated networking and face to face peer meetings. You will also be able to book time directly with expert suppliers for the in-depth discussions of the issues you face, giving a valuable opportunity for uninterrupted quality time with prospective partners.

Get face to face with your commissioning heroes
New for 2012, the facilitated networking area will allow delegates to build their own programme of meetings around the main conference programme. Our innovative booking platform allows delegates to identify experts
and peers with practical experience in key areas. You can even create your own sessions around the topics that matter most to you and invite like-minded colleagues to join you.

Be part of the agenda
This platform also allows delegates to join facilitated learning sessions and round tables. They can even create their own sessions around the topics that matter most to them and to invite like-minded colleagues to join them. In such a dynamic environment where the hot topics can change daily, this will ensure that every delegate has the opportunity to come away with the solutions they need.

Engage with content online
An integrated social media platform will allow delegates to share their experiences with others and discuss what they have learned. Combined with downloadable content the value of Commissioning will extend well beyond the confines of a traditional two-day show.

More flexible programme
We listened to what delegates told us after the 2011 show: they rated the content highly, but sometimes found it difficult to fit in everything they wanted to do. Whilst there is still a host of great content, we have opened out the schedule to allow more time to get between theatres, for networking and for talking to
expert partners in the exhibition zone.
