The Central region is greatly looking forward to welcoming you all to the 2021 Conference. In what has been undoubtably a ‘difficult’ 18 months or so we hope to provide you all with the perfect opportunity to catch up on all of the latest cutting edge findings, thoughts and conclusions from our Scholars. Not forgetting the ‘social side’! There will be ample opportunity to meet up face to face for a drink and a catch up – and hopefully no need to utter the fateful phrase "you are on mute".
