Thanks to our 'student helpers' who staffed the front desk, gave tours, and generally helped us get everything ready on the day.

Thanks to the session chairs for introducing the speakers and running each of the sessions across the 2 days.

If you're thinking of coming to Leeds for this year's conference and haven't got your tickets yet, then you might wanna get on that sooner rather than later...

We'd hate for you to miss out!
