Wednesday, 17 May 2023, 9:30am-3pm
The British Motor Museum, Gaydon, Warwickshire.
Welcome from
Dave Middleton, Executive Chair of amii.
We are excited to welcome you to our 2023 Annual General Meeting. We have a packed and informative agenda with speakers who will share their journey of building a new business in an established market, they’ll explore advances in the digitisation of healthcare and how ‘tech for good’ continues to benefit not only those in managing their day to day wellbeing but on the management of chronic and long term health conditions. I am also looking forward to some healthy debate on consumer duty in our panel discussion.
As with all Annual General Meetings, we will share the Association’s 2022 financials and our plans for the next 12 months and let’s not forget that all-important element of voting that happens today!
Our aim is that this Annual General Meeting is informative – giving you plenty of takeaways to use in your business and to talk with colleagues, clients, friends and family about – and not forgetting the great opportunity it provides you with to speak with providers and network with fellow amii members.
As we continue to navigate these challenging times with the ongoing issues in the NHS, inflation and the cost of living crisis, we are still seeing and hearing about an increase in demand and appetite for the health and wellbeing market. In general, our industry seems to be in a good place and long may this continue.
Finally, thank you to the Executive Committee for their continued support and the hard work that they do on your behalf throughout the year. Can I also thank our General Secretary, Tina Jennings, who continues to be a great support to me on all things amii. Last, but not least, thank you all for being members: as I said last year, and I will continue to say, we are nothing without you
