Complementary to the conference programme are a series of side events. These events are an opportunity for organisations to showcase a particular project or work. Held in advance of the scheduled sessions, during breaks, or in the evening, these events allow participants to discuss in-depth a particular issue and afford an opportunity for networking. Exhibitors can also hold side events within their exhibition space.
For side event enquiries please contact:
Lea Ranalder
Please click on each of the side events for a full description.
