BES Annual Meeting – Workshops
Workshops are a great opportunity to develop skills, contribute to developing subjects and learn new skills – and we have an abundance of free lunchtime workshops at our Annual Meeting!
This year is no exception, with our Annual Meeting workshops covering a wide range of subjects. They run during our lunch breaks on Monday and Tuesday, and delegates will be able to get takeaway lunches from a catering point so they won’t miss out!
