Networking sessions

As a networking organisation, CSaP events provide opportunities for our delegates to meet others who have similar interests, whether working in policy or research. CSaP staff will be on hand to help you make connections during the networking sessions - at lunch and the post-conference reception. When registering your attendance, please let us know your work area and interests, and the types of people you would like to connect with. We will aim to share a delegate list with all attendees in advance of the conference.
