Pre-booking is required because full joining instructions will be emailed to attendees in advance. In your webscreen confirmation of your booking, you will find a form which you will be asked to complete so that we can carry out research in advance. This is because we would like to make the session as useful as possible for you. Please complete the form as fully as possible and return it at least three days before the session date. All information is kept confidentially. Bookings close 3 days before the session.
