National Equine Forum shares 2023 programme
'Equine Industry in a Changing World' session will include contributions from the government and key industry figures.
Full day of sessions on industry advancements and challenges.

The programme has been announced for the 31st National Equine Forum (NEF23), set to take place on Thursday 2 March 2023.

Held at the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (iMechE) in London, the event will discuss industry advancements, considering the equine industry in a changing world, opportunities and challenges for the future of the industry, learning theory and the roles and responsibilities of influencers.

Alongside the in-person element, the forum will also be livestreamed, allowing delegates to learn and take part without travelling to London.

Chairman of the NEF, Tim Brigstocke, said: “The diverse and engaging content of this year’s programme, together with the calibre of our speakers suggest that NEF23 is going to be one of our most outstanding events to date. 

“We hope you will be able to join us either in person or via the livestream to enjoy a day of equestrian discussion and debate.”

At the end of each session, attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and engage with the discussions – this will also be available to those watching online. 

The event will end with the announcement of the 2023 winner of the Sir Colin Spedding Award.

With the announcement of the programme, tickets and further information will be made available via the NEF website in due course.
