Please note, we've designed the agenda to allow for switching between streams, so you really can tailor your day to your needs and interests. We do however ask that if you are switching between sessions in different streams, that you do this with minimal disruption to the speaker and the room for the benefit of the other delegates. Once capacity is reached in a room for a particular stream, we will not be able to admit additional delegates to that session.
