The full line up of events are now available to register for ahead of National Conveyancing Week 2024, which begins on Monday 11th March and runs through to Friday 15th March. A series of discussions, debates and educational presentations are being delivered across topics covering material and up front information, digitisation, mental health and wellbeing and the economy.
National Conveyancing Week (NCW) was launched in 2023 to raise the profile of conveyancing, improve understanding of the home moving process, and create strong and beneficial working relationships between all stakeholders. In the run up to this year’s event firms have registered to take part amplifying the message of the week which include to
“Inform; Educate; Assist; Motivate; Reassure; Help recruit new entrants; Improve the profile of conveyancers and conveyancing and ensure fees can be set at and kept at an acceptable level.”
Each registered law firm registered has their logo and website link listed on the NCW website, with the website hosting a range of assets they can use online to promote NCW and their involvement. Promotional boxes to help firms decorate their offices and take part in the week, made available to all those wanting to take part in NCW for free through the generosity of the sponsors, are being circulated in the coming week with additional boxes and NCW T-shirts available to purchase at a subsidised rate from the NCW webstore.
All the events of the week are available online, meaning busy conveyancers don’t need to leave the office to attend and engage. All the sessions will be recorded and made available on the NCW YouTube channel as on-demand resources.
The week begins with a short message from National Conveyancing Week founders Rob Hailstone (CEO Bold Legal Group) and David Opie (Managing Director Today’s Media) before launching into a series of morning and afternoon themes on current talking points in the sector.
