Conference Workshop Sessions

Following the success of last year’s conference, this year we present a series of special interactive workshop sessions, led by our speakers to bring you closer to the themes at the heart of the conference. These sessions take place each afternoon, offering a refreshing change of pace to traditional conference formats.

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.
