The 32nd National Equine Forum (#NEF24) takes place on Thursday 7th March 2024. The aim of the Forum is to host an annual assembly of individuals who reflect every area of the equestrian industry, to hear presentations from experts on diverse and topical subjects of the industry and allow them to share their views.
#NEF24 is being run as a hybrid event, with delegates attending in-person at the venue and remotely through the live streaming. Delegates will be able to watch the replay when it is released in the week following the Forum (the replay will be available via a separate Eventbrite listing).

If consent is withheld, we will need to make special arrangements to be able to ensure that you are not included in any images or streaming and how we bring this about in practice will depend on how many people do not give consent. If consent is withheld you will not be able to ask any questions. If you do not give consent we will contact you with further details in February but need to let you know that it may affect your ability to circulate freely within the event and mean that you are not able to choose where you sit. Our Privacy Policy can be found here.
