Two years ago, in the middle of lockdown, we ran an online version of the Inspire Conference. It was a roaring success and so we’ll be doing it again in May!
The Presentations will be on You-Tube. This is a reliable platform which will ensure that you receive the presentations at the highest possible quality. Then there will be ZOOM links to join in discussion and Q&A after each keynote and workshop presentation.
There is no charge for the conference!
