To help those attending this year's conference alone to feel more at ease, we are hosting a special 'Team Solo' meet-up. This informal gathering will take place on Friday 19th September, 08:30 - 09:00 at the PCRS Exhibition Stand. You'll have the opportunity to meet the PCRS Chair, Katherine Hickman and other PCRS committee members, who are excited to welcome you personally and connect with fellow solo attendees in a relaxed and supportive environment.
Look out for 'Team Solo' zones - we will have a designated 'team solo' seating area in the main conference plenary room specifically for solo attendees - making it easier to strike up conversations.
The PCRS AGM will take place at 14:00-14:30 hours on Friday in the Atcham Suite.
