Registration will effectively close at midnight on the 2nd May and will not open again until the live conference is over. So ensure you sign up now.

 

Discussion forums

A great advantage of this conference is the ability to not only listen to the presentations but ask questions of the presenter and discuss with your peers on the subject matter. This provides for a far better learning experience and contributes to the overall knowledge gained from the presentation. The discussion forums will remain open after the event but whether or not you will get that burning question answered by the presenter or another expert in the field may be debatable. Sign up to ensure you get to learn all you can from the conference.
