A range of activities will be on offer during the congress, with certain focused events at different times. The conference program will provide more details as well as a timetable for these activities. Congress memorabilia:
Congress memorabilia will be available but NOT from the LOC. We have acquired the services of an independent vendor. Any purchases will be between the delegate and the vendor. Memorabilia are therefore ordered and purchased at the delegates own risk. The LOC has no control of the sales of these memorabilia.
