Following the success of previous events in Manchester and Newcastle, NOCN Group is proud to sponsor the 2025 conference in Hull, delivered by National World Events in partnership with Future Humber and Hull City Council.

As a leading skills and assessment organisation dedicated to creating a fairer and more productive society, NOCN Group recognises that the race to a net-zero economy depends on the jobs we do – and the skills we develop.

The conference will bring together politicians, business leaders, academics, and the media to explore how we can collectively address the urgent need to reskill and upskill the workforce across the North of England. Together, we’ll examine the opportunities and challenges ahead and consider how every sector can play a part in building a greener, more resilient economy.

With sustainability more crucial than ever, NOCN Group is committed to driving the skills agenda and supporting the industries and individuals working towards a net-zero future.
