NB All workshops will run on Monday and Tuesday. Workshops will be run simultaneously, with delegates selecting one workshop each day. Like any conference programme, workshop speakers and content are subject to change. Certain workshops may have maximum numbers, in which case places will be issued on a first come, first served basis. Pre-booking workshops is not possible.
