Information about accommodation, getting to Newcastle and registration fees is available here. More information and links to the webstore for purchasing registration will follow soon. Full conference details about panels and schedules will also follow soon.

We remind all delegates and presenters that membership of IASPM (any branch) is required for attendance and also ask that all those coming to the conference please familiarise themselves with IASPM International Code of Conduct, and UK branch statement on safe spaces.
