The event is free to attend and there is no registration deadline as such, but please add your name to https://doodle.com/poll/euebyg7fhvnrgpz7 by Monday 3 June if you would like a free lunch. Also let us know by Monday, in a reply to this email, if you have a poster that you would like to bring along so that we can set up enough boards.
