The National Convention is the highlight of the JCI UK calendar.  The convention is being held in Sheffield between 25 and 27 November and just some of the activities include:

• Pecha Kucha - developed in Japan in 2003 PK events are held around the world and it has grown into quite a phenomenon.  The concept works on a 20x20 basis - 20 slides/images and 20 seconds for each one.  You will get to hear 5 great speakers over the course of an hour.
• Gala Dinner and Awards Ceremony - Being held at the Kelham Island Museum, this night of celebration promises to be fun and memorable for all.
• Key Note Speakers - Inspiration at every turn.  You won't believe what these leaders have achieved until you've heard it.
  
• Competitions - Whether you are taking part or watching, the public speaking and debating competitions are a great experience and always provide a lot of laughs!
  
• Networking - JCI is all about its members and national events are a great opportunity to catch up with old friends and meet new ones.  If this is your first national event, worry not - there are networking training sessions which will ensure you will quickly meet lots of people in the same situation.

Early bird registration is just £99 until 30 September.  You can also get a great deal on a hotel, with a double or twin room only £99 for two nights!  You can find more information and sign up here.
