The Conveyancing Association (CA) has revealed the full agenda for its 2023 Annual Conference which is being held on the 7th of February in London.
Next month’s venue is the Leonardo Royal Hotel in the heart of the City of London, overlooked by St Paul’s Cathedral.
Under the title, ‘Change is Coming’, the 2023 Conference will be introduced by CA non-executive chair, Nicky Heathcote and conference chair, Eddie Goldsmith, before keynote speaker, Professor Richard Susskind OBE reviews what has been happening in the legal profession over the last few years, and what is in store for the future, in his session entitled, ‘Change is coming or already here?’
Heathcote said: “We are now just a few weeks away from our 2023 Annual Conference and we have finalised all our sessions for the day.
“It is a full agenda consisting of keynote speeches and panel debates, all with ample opportunity for our delegates to take part in the sessions.
“The overriding theme is to look ahead to what is coming over the horizon and to provide a roadmap for conveyancing firms with regards to how best they can prepare for the inevitable change and how they can thrive in the future.
“We’ve managed to assemble an excellent array of speakers and panel debate participants, who will provide a range of fresh analysis based on their experience of the sector and how it might develop in the years ahead.
“At the same time, we have Professor Richard Susskind returning to give his own update on what has changed in the years since he last attended the Conference, and where those developments take us next.”
During the day there will also be a presentation from Nick Chadbourne, CEO of Conference Headline Sponsors, LMS.
The Conference itself will finish with a round-up and closing remarks from Professor Susskind and Eddie Goldsmith.
Confirmed panellists for the day include: David Grossman (chief executive of Simplify), Paul Saunders (managing director of Legal Eye), James Bawa (former CEO of JN Bank UK and Teachers Building Society), Rob Hosier (executive director of inCase), Martin Macduff (founder of Redbrick Solutions), Margie McCrone (head of strategy & policy at the Legal Services Board), Simon David (CEO of Thomas Legal), and Sheila Kumar (chief executive of the CLC).

Following the end of the Conference, delegates will be invited to join a Drinks Reception, sponsored by PEXA.
This will be followed by a Charity Dinner, sponsored by Conveyancing Data Services, in aid of The Children’s Society (www.childrenssociety.org.uk), who provide specialist support that empowers young people to make positive changes.
Heathcote added: “It promises to be an excellent Conference and we are hoping that as many CA member firms and employees will be able to attend the day itself and our Drinks and Charity Dinner, which this year is in aid of The Children’s Society.”
