This year’s conference will be in Manchester on Monday 16th and Tuesday 17th of October, and we are really looking forward to seeing you all there.
We have a draft agenda which you can see from the link below. Please bear in mind this is draft at this stage and subject to some change, but many of the main sessions are confirmed.
