As many will know, this international meeting has been running in London for around 40 years. But 2020 is different in so many ways. We have moved to an innovative new virtual platform that will provide 20 pre-recorded lectures from 2 November 2020, from eminent speakers who are leaders in their field. This will be followed, from 16 November, by a schedule of hour-long live sessions with each of the speakers that will include a 20-minute lecture resumé – 20 minutes taking pre-submitted questions, and 20 minutes live discussion.
As a registered delegate, you will be able to view the lectures as many times as you wish in the privacy of your own space or with colleagues, and will have opportunity to pre-submit questions prior to the live session, and be involved in discussion and Q & A on the day.
Registration fee: £150.
