MTA AUTUMN CONFERENCE

At the Field Studies Council Blencathra Centre, Lake District

19th and 20th November 2022

We are delighted have our Biennial Conference back on the programme. We have a great range of full-day workshops on offer throughout the weekend, all designed to support you through your training, consolidation, get you ready for your assessment and/or refresh and enhance your skills and knowledge when you're using your qualifications. 

It is also a great opportunity to network with other members with a shared interest, refresh and broaden your skills and attend evening talks from MTA and a guest speaker.

We'll also be presenting our first ever Volunteer Awards to members who have gone above and beyond, shown initiative and drive, and made a difference in what they do.

This event is worth 2 CPD points.
