Macmillan Professionals Conference 2021
The Macmillan Professionals Conference and Excellence Awards brings together Macmillan professionals from across the UK to network, learn and be inspired by each other and industry expert speakers.
About the 2021 conference
After a two-year hiatus, the Macmilllan professionals community reunited for a two-day conference on 2 & 3 November to connect, share best practice and reflect on their experience and learnings from the pandemic.
For the first time ever, Macmillan professionals could participate in the event in a way that suited them – either in person at the venue in Manchester or from a behind a screen at home or work. Through live stream keynotes and interactive sessions, the event was a great opportunity for Macmillan professionals to reconnect with peers, learn valuable insight to support them in their roles, and understand the vital role they play in helping Macmillan do whatever it takes for people living with and affected by cancer.
A highlight of the event is the Macmillan Professionals Excellence Awards ceremony, where the winners of our prestigious awards are announced. This year if felt more important than ever to recognise and celebrate the important work of Macmillan professionals amidst the challenges of the pandemic, and we were thrilled to announce 14 winners across 4 categories.
