Based on our successful multi-access conference in 2023, we will be offering a virtual component so that participants from around the globe unable to travel to Ireland will still be able to participate.

Multi-access (and what this means)

The Symposium will accommodate both live and virtual participants.  The schedule for the Symposium has been designed for easy viewing for both UK and European participants and those from North America.  All presentations will be live streamed and participants will be able to answer questions and participate in unconference discussions.

To cover the production costs for the virtual platform the registration fee will be the same as the early registration for live participants.
