Please note, the Conference Scientific Programme Committee respectfully ask that no other industry meetings are organised with conference delegates during the conference e.g. advisory boards, workshops, project review meetings, evening meetings (although organised dinners are acceptable). It is in the interest of all parties for our delegates to be encouraged to actively participate in the scientific programme, as fully as possible, for the duration of the conference and, also, to attend the organised industry sessions which are an important and integral part of the main scientific programme. Thank you for your support and understanding.
