Important information


Just a reminder that registration forms and abstracts are due on 31 October. We need to keep to this deadline so we have time to complete arrangements such as printing the abstract books and organising sessions etc.

To assist people with times for flights, the sessions will start at 9.00am on Friday morning, and finish on Sunday at 1.00pm. There will be a registration session on Thursday night for those who have arrived.

We will be sending out some information on pre-ordering your conference T-shirt shortly.

A lot of emails bounced when We first sent out the information, so if you know of anyone wishing to attend please pass on the registration form.
