Annual Symposium & Conference
The progression of all our collective work in the field of addiction and recovery requires collaboration with colleagues from all around the World. One way in which we help to achieve this is with the Get Into Recovery Symposium and Conference.
We hold this annual event on the Isle of Wight, England, in early October each year. This is a two-part process that comprises a working week at Somerton Lodge with a one-day conference held at Landgauard Manor, Shanklin.
We are still planning to go ahead with the event for October 2022, but this is under continual review pending a significant improvement in the Covid 19 situation.
Symposium
Somerton Lodge, Oct 2022
The Symposium is designed to establish a relaxed collaborative working environment for local, national and international attendees, with the following features:
-
The extended period allows flexibility for national and international travellers. Attendees can book to best suit their working goals, the need to attend other UK events and for some rest days too.
-
An outline timetable will be set for informal meetings throughout the week, with volunteers leading on their particular specialist subject. A relaxed atmosphere to network, exchange ideas and plan collaborations is proposed.
-
People/working groups can prepare and coordinate their work at the symposium for formal presentation and discussion at the Conference.
-
Get Into Recovery staff will help coordinate and facilitate the work of all attendees, both individually and as groups. As the overall planning gains shape and detail, we will publish regular progress updates (starting Mar 2022).
Guests are invited to stay with us at Somerton Lodge. An indicative cost for a standard double room (B&B) for 5 nights is £460. A simple menu of lunch snacks and evening meals will be available (at extra cost). Our online booking system is blocked for this period to keep accommodation available for Symposium attendees – so please call or email us direct with you booking requirements.
