All conference sessions will be available to stream on-demand via the Virtual Platform, alongside other resources so that you can view some content ahead of time and thus get maximum benefit from participation in the interactive features of the 'live' conference schedule.

Set across three days, you'll have the opportunity to participate in live discussion with speakers, and dissemination of up to date research, new concepts and industry developments for each stream of content.
