Shared Services Forum UK’s flagship annual event, giving our members the opportunity to hear outstanding speakers, learn and share best practice, participate in quality networking, meet exhibitors and enjoy first-class hospitality.
Each year our Conference attracts over 300 leading SSC professionals, and showcases a select number of key industry suppliers and business partners.
The FutureVision Awards Dinner is a big part of the annual conference. The awards honour those in our membership who have exemplified our Forum’s core values of ‘Community’, ‘Leadership’ and ‘Evolution’ over the year.
This year we added a 4th award category based on our conference theme.
THE AWARD CATEGORIES:
Community – someone who, either through their work or extra-curricular activities, had introduced, developed or contributed to a sense of community within their workplace, the shared services industry or the community in which their business operates.
Leadership – someone who has shown exceptional leadership qualities, that have made a significant positive impact and difference to their team.
Evolution – someone who has embraced change, technology or other opportunities to create transformation and helped show others the way, through their vision.
The top 3 candidates in each category are invited to attend the Annual Conference Awards Dinner, along with all the Leaders from each of our member organisations, where the winners are then announced!!!!
We host three Leaders’ Meetings per year, including our popular Summer Social and Christmas Luncheon. Each member organisation’s SSC Leader is invited to attend, alongside selected partners.
Meeting venues have included the House of Commons, Imperial War Museum North, and Haydock Park Racecourse, with past speakers such as Jeffrey Archer and Lord Paddy Ashdown, these are not events to be missed.
The lifeblood of Shared Services Forum UK, our seven active Practitioner Networks: We have seven practitioner networks, all of which have been set up by members who have identified topics or work functions, with a shared appetite to come together on a regular basis to discuss key issues and best practice.
Hosted at member organisation’s SSCs, these events are held quarterly for each Network, and are voluntarily chaired by a member.
Shared Services Forum UK offers an extensive package of member benefits including the opportunity to network with like-minded professionals, whose passion is the pursuit and deployment of business excellence in Shared Services.
