Our Pre-Conference Events (PCEs), organised by our Special Interest Groups (SIGs), are being held in Harrogate on Monday 17 April 2023.
These events allow you to explore a particular subject area in more depth, network with colleagues from around the world and to continue your professional development.
Each PCE runs for the full day (from 10.00 - 17.00 UK time). It is only possible to register and attend one PCE. All PCE delegates will receive a certificate of attendance.
