UKademy+ grew out of the main annual conference, providing an outlet for topics that might be too urgent to wait for the annual conference, or of interest to a smaller audience. Plan firms can host UKademy+ sessions on anything they think that other firms would be interested to attend. Guidance on how to develop and coordinate sessions (and get them published on the website) can be found on the Plan’s Intralinks system.
