We are currently planning an exciting event which will showcase a range of schemes which demonstrate how to implement, reward, incentive and loyalty programmes and how they can be linked to resident and transport card schemes.

Confirmed case studies include Spice incentive scheme for community based programmes, Barking and Dagenham reward scheme for young people, mid-Suffolk Key card scheme and Derbyshire Gold Card. We have also invited speakers on health incentive schemes, re-cycling initiatives and local business loyalty programmes. We look forward to stimulating debate and discussion about ideas and opportunities across the UK.

With the recent Government announcements on the Big Society agenda, we anticipate a growing need and interest for reward and incentive schemes to energise local initiatives. We are talking to the Big Society Network about this event and expect this to be one of the major themes. We will also be discussing how to implement sustainable schemes in the current economic climate.

The event is free for SCNF members to attend and there will be an exhibition area from our sponsors. Places will be limited, so if you wish to reserve a place, please send an email to events@scnf.org.uk - can you indicate any particular application you would like to find out more about.
