- Wednesday 20th and Thursday 21st May 2026
- Albert Hall Conference Centre, Nottingham
By popular request, for 2026 we are expanding NAG Seminar to two days, and this time we’re in Nottingham! The Albert Hall Conference Centre is the perfect venue for NAG with excellent rail links and numerous hotel options close by to suit all budgets. This historic and unique venue offers a large plenary space for Seminar in our usual cabaret style plus a spacious exhibitor area where catering can be served for plenty of networking opportunities.
NAG Forum will remain a one day event for public libraries taking place alongside Seminar on Wednesday 20th May with shared breaks and lunch to keep those cross-sector networking opportunities.
The event will start around 11am on the Wednesday to enable easy travel options; we have chosen Nottingham for excellent rail-links including a direct service from London St Pancras (1hr47). Daytime refreshments including lunch will be included as usual and we are hoping to host an evening reception on the Wednesday open to all delegates, followed by a further full programme on the Thursday. Delegates will be responsible for finding their own accommodation with a wide range of options close by.
Ticket prices:
- Two day Seminar NAG Members £240 +VAT
