Programme

The conference is split into two parts. As well as the keynote, each theme will have further formal sessions, as well as informal session which run throughout the conference.

The conference environment will be open from the 27th November, for reading only, so that delegates can read and view the various presentations and papers. The conference itself will be open for contributions from Monday 4th December to Wednesday 6th December. The environment will remain accessible for reading only, so that delegates can catch up on anything they missed, for a further four weeks.

For further information on how the conference works, see the FAQ section. More information about the presenters can be seen in the Presenter section.
