The 15th Symposium & Exhibition

This is the 2010 Symposium - The 2011 Symposium can be found here.

Symposium papers

In 2010 a total of 23 papers were presented to over 220 delegates. The symposium programme is given below and each paper that we have an electronic copy of, is available to download through this website provided you are logged in with a registered account - if you do not have an account you will be asked to create one (there is no registration fee we simply ask for a few details) when you try and download a paper.

Unfortunately we were unable to film the presentations this year although we will try and make the presentations themselves available in the near future.

The full list of exhibitors is given here. If you are interested in exhibiting then we are always keen to encourage new participants. Similarly, if you are interested in presenting a paper at the Symposium, please let us know. You will receive additional discount on the Symposium costs and we will be happy to give you as much (or as little) guidance as you need in terms of format and pitching your content at the right level.
