Save the date: Regional Optical Conferences are back
29 April 2026
We are pleased to announce that the Regional Optical Conferences (ROCs) will be back again this November.
The inaugural ROCs in 2024 were very well received, so once again LOCSU will host one day conferences in each of the regions across England – bringing together LOCs in an NOC-style event closer to home.
Open to all on an LOC, the day will be filled with training and development alongside networking opportunities, allowing the space to discuss matters that impact you on a local basis.
Like last time, each region will be able to help build and shape the agenda by choosing key topics of discussion. Further information will be shared with LOCs shortly and discussed at the regional forums.
Until then, please save the date:
North East & Yorkshire: 3 November 2026, Hilton Leeds City, Leeds.
North West: 4 November 2026, Delta by Marriott Liverpool, Liverpool.
South West: 10 November, Mercure Exeter Southgate, Exeter.
Midlands: 12 November, Crowne Plaza Birmingham NEC, Birmingham.
East of England: 17 November, Holiday Inn Cambridge, Cambridge.
London: 25 November, Doubletree by Hilton Angel King’s Cross, London.
South East: 26 November, Doubletree by Hilton Angel King’s Cross, London.
