We are delighted to announce that we have put together a wider-ranging programme than usual, with a choice of three different speakers in our four parallel sessions.<\/p>\n

We have added interest from the publishers this year, with six committed so far to setting up stands.<\/p>\n

We are also in a new, spacious and state of the art venue at MMU Birley Fields. Add two excellent, internationally known, plenary speakers and we think we have a Conference you can\u2019t afford to miss, and one that is unbeatable on value for money.<\/p>\n
