Weather

In Britain, people LOVE to talk about the weather (and how much they distrust the
weather forecast) and, by a strange coincidence, SUMMER occurs this year
during the week of our conference!! Should you wish to engage in small talk, the
BBC Weather Worcester site is the best place to access information about this most
important topic.

Online Access

Our IT crew are on this, and links for our online colleagues will be shared via your
email on Monday evening for MS Teams meetings for each of the online sessions.
Note that the room moderator will likely share your presentation, but you should also
have access to the slides to move the presentation along at your own pace.
For online presenters: If you anticipate any internet connectivity issues, you are
strongly encouraged to share a recorded version of your presentation, which you
can upload to the folder provided in the ‘Uploading of your presentation in advance’.
The opening welcome, along with the panel event on Wednesday, along with all
keynote addresses will be streamed live via MS Teams. The Online parallel sessions
on Thursday will also be streamed live. Other parallel sessions will be recorded and
will be made available one week after the conference on the INCLUDE website. A list
of all online sessions is available on the schedule page.
