#beyondpages · Tuesday 9 September · 10:30 – 11:15

Who are you listening to?

Twelve speakers. Twelve sessions, all at the same time. You get one.

How this works

All twelve sessions run in parallel for 45 minutes, so you attend exactly one. Read through the speakers below, then fill in the form — sessions fill up in the order people sign up, so the sooner you choose, the better your chances of getting your first pick.

Some sessions are open to certain year groups only. That's marked on each card. Rooms will be confirmed closer to the date.
