For the last five years BASEM has run a one or two day Spring Conference each year in April aimed at providing cutting edge education to the membership and beyond. In 2010 BASEM will replace their Spring Meeting and Annual Congress with a 3 day International Conference which will take place in November and will include keynote and parallel sessions to suit all BASEM member’s educational needs.
The venue will be in London.
The focus and framework of the Conference is currently being prepared and will be available on the website in the New Year, including a statement on BASEM’s vision for the future
