Thank you all for a wonderful conference

Dear delegates,

This is a quick message to thank each and every one of you for coming to DMU and making the conference such a success.  We hope that you all enjoyed yourselves.

Thanks also to Professor John Ellis and Dr Helen Wheatley for giving such interesting keynote talks, to Dr Claire Monk and Dr James Russell for offering their insights and taking questions during the plenary discussion, and to Dr Jamie Medhurst for chairing it.

We look forward to hopefully seeing you at future events.

The CATH postgradutes.

Conference programme update

Hello everyone.  Just to draw everyone's attention the newly update conference programme which is accessible from the tab above.  There are no major changes, only the plenary discussion starts a little later, which means the conference closes at 18.45 as opposed to 18.15.

Registration is now open!

You can now register for the conference at this link: http://store.dmu.ac.uk/browse/extra_info.asp?modid=1&prodid=1400&deptid=37&catid=125&prodvarid=0

CONFERENCE FEE INFORMATION

We are still having some issues launching the registration page, so apologies for the delay with this.

Some people have been emailing asking about the conference fee.  The fee for the day will be £15.00.  There'll also be the opportunity, when registering, to book for the conference meal that will be happening in the evening from 19.15, priced at £14.95 per person.

There will be an email sent to the major mailing lists announcing registration when the site is (eventually!) set up.

All the best,

Johnny Walker
(on behalf of the conference organisers)

Registration delay

Unfortunately, there has been a delay in the setting up of a registration page on the DMU website.  This is to be rectified early next week.  We are very sorry about the long wait.
