Plan your own conference programme

The conference structure has been designed to allow you to plan your own programme. In addition to the main keynotes, you have the opportunity to attend up to four sessions per day and can choose to follow one strand or mix and match sessions from different strands. Please refer to the timetable when planning your day and remember to ensure the sessions you choose do not overlap.

All workshops and seminars must be pre-booked. These sessions are highlighted by a ‘pre-booking’ icon. A maximum of two workshops or seminars can be booked per day. This is to allow as many delegates as possible the opportunity to attend these sessions.

All other sessions do not require booking and are available on a first-come, first-seated basis on the day itself. Please arrive in good time for these sessions; for health and safety reasons, once sessions are full they will be closed and you will be asked to choose an alternative.

Sessions requiring pre-booking are detailed on the conference booking form and should be requested at the time of booking. You will be informed if your choice is full and given the opportunity to book alternative sessions if required. It is advisable to book as early as possible as places are limited and popular sessions fill up very quickly.

A maximum of two workshops or seminars can be booked per day.
