This really is a unique opportunity to meet, listen to, question and engage with policy-makers and experts from an area of policy that is only in its early stages. Technical knowledge isn’t required and we’ll be sending around a short briefing pack to all delegates before the conference.
So, see the poster attached, fill in the booking form and book a place soon, before they go!
