Event app
The conference will include an event app. The instructions for downloading the app will be made available closer to the conference.
This will be available as a free download for all registered delegates. It has primarily been designed to help you make personal connections with other attendees (subject to your permissions).
The software also offers live event notifications, personalised schedules across the whole of the conference and the option to search all abstracts.
