Programme

The provisional conference programme can be found below. A PDF version (with abstracts) can be downloaded here.

Time and Location

The conference starts on Thursday, June 23 at 9am, and presentations finish at 1pm on Saturday, June 25. Poster sessions take place during lunchtime on Thursday, June 23, and Friday, June 24.

The event will take place in Lancaster University's Management School (building 52 on map). Keynotes and paper presentations will take place in Lecture Theatre 1. Poster sessions and receptions will take place in the Hub.

Social program

We are organizing an evening reception on Thursday, June 23, and a conference dinner for Friday, June 24, at the Sun Cafe Restaurant. The reception is free but the conference dinner needs to be booked separately. There are only 80 spaces available for the conference dinner so early registration is recommended. The social program concludes with an (optional) excursion to Ambleside in the Lake District National Park. This takes place after the last presentations, and space is limited to 50 delegates.
