This year we're introducing a Conference Buddy system to pair up those that are joining us for the first time, with those that have been before.
It means that the buddies can meet up on the day, either arranging to arrive together or meet at registration, to take away any trepidation of joining a room full of strangers (and to assure you from audience experience that we're not a bunch of dry academics!).
When you book a ticket you will be asked if you want a buddy, and we'll then introduce the two buddies together over email.
