REGISTER FOR OUR VIRTUAL EVENT NOW TO BE IN WITH A CHANCE TO WIN A CAMERA WORTH £2,500
Hello to all ACPME members and to our valued supporters.
While we’ve just turned the clocks back, I’m sure many of you are thinking the last thing you need is another hour of 2020. It’s certainly been a tough year for us all. Supporting our institutions has never been harder and we’re all bracing ourselves for the coming winter months, not knowing what challenges lie ahead.
Despite this, our ACPME Board have been delighted to hear of the great work our members, and our suppliers, across the UK have been doing – both from home and on return to the workplace. We want to celebrate the tremendous efforts you have all made by holding a Covid-19 Special ACPME Awards ceremony at our Creative Climates virtual event 10am–4:15pm, Tuesday 1st December 2020.
We’ve been working really hard to bring you a great day’s content through a professional online platform. If you haven’t already, REGISTER NOW and make sure you and your colleagues join us online from 10am.
There is something for all of you – covering design, photography, and print.
We’ve got first class speakers. There will be opportunities to engage with our suppliers and to hear their latest news, in addition to networking with both members and suppliers through break-out discussion’s sessions – covering topics around design, print and photography.
Your attendance is really important to us – not only is it a fantastic way to engage with your peers and our suppliers but it also supports the long-term future of ACPME.
Stay safe, enter the awards by Friday 13 November and see you at the Virtual Event.
Alison Freer, Chair of ACPME

SUPERSTAR IN THE SPOTLIGHT
HELP US CELEBRATE YOU STAFF
At a time when many of our staff have been furloughed, we thought it would be nice to celebrate some of our more unsung heroes. We know how pivotal and valued they are to our services. We want to recognise as many of them as possible and to hear their voices.
It’s currently hard to get pictures of staff in their usual working environment, but if you’d like to nominate one of your heroes please get in touch with comms@acpme.ac.uk
As well as appearing in Despatch, we’ll send you a high resolution PDF to print and display when back at base.
Remember you can also enter ‘Best team member who went above and beyond during Covid-19’ in our Awards. Entry deadline: Friday 13 November 2020
