The Signing Tree, Birmingham

We are delighted to announce our 2027 MTI Conference. The conference will be held Saturday May 8th at The Signing Tree, Birmingham.

The Signing Tree is an inspiring venue that supports people with sensory loss. We are pleased to be supporting this social enterprise, which is easy to access from Birmingham New Street Station as well as being outside of the clean air zone charges.

The theme of MTI’s 2027 conference is Sharing Your Skills, exploring how practitioners can share their knowledge, experience and passion for massage within their local communities. The conference will support tutors, aspiring tutors and practitioners interested in this area. 

It will also inspire members to share their skills more widely, whether through running workshops in schools and community settings, speaking at local wellbeing events or workplaces, or introducing massage to new audiences. By building members’ confidence and offering practical ideas and inspiration, this conference aims to open up new opportunities for our members.

We are in need for massage tables for workshops at the MTI Conference. If you’re able to bring one along, we’d love to offer you a free online CPD in return – either from our existing catalogue or one upcoming.

It’s a simple way to support the day and gain a little something in return! If you can help, please email Helena at marketing@massagetraining.co.uk.
