REGISTER FOR THE NATESOL CONFERENCE NOW!
More presentations, more publisher stands, more space.

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.

We have added interest from the publishers this year, with six committed so far to setting up stands.

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’t afford to miss, and one that is unbeatable on value for money.
