The main part of the conference will be hosted on Zoom Webinar, with breakout sessions being hosted on Microsoft Teams and the chocolate meditation session on Zoom large meeting. All links for the conference and sessions will be released on Tuesday 13th July on to the webpage.

Further resources will be made “live” on the day of the conference.
Important pre–conference information regarding UCL Zoom account
In order to access the sessions that will be hosted via zoom please set up your UCL Zoom account prior to the 14th July (if you have not already done so previously). If your UCL zoom account is not set up you will be unable to access the event because it will not be available via the non UCL zoom route.
Details of how to set up your UCL zoom account can be found here.
The conference and all sessions will be recorded and available on the conference page to watch at a later date.
We look forward to you joining us.
