NOTE



We are no longer offering tickets due to excess demand. Seating capacity in the Cruciform Lecture Theatre is limited to 350. To avoid disappointment, we will be showing a live video of the conference on a large screen in a nearby spillover room, the Wilkins Gustav Tuck Lecture Theatre. Those without tickets are welcome to turn up, but at the risk of not being able to get in.

We intend to broadcast the whole event live on the internet.
