Current Programme
Venue: Stewart House, Russell Square, London
Please note:
Each session will start at 2:00 pm and close at 5:30 pm. There will be three or four speakers per session: therefore we should like to start each session promptly at 2 p.m., so arrive a little early if you can. Time has been allowed for general discussion at the end.
