RCSLT Conference 2023. Embracing the future together.
1-2 November 2023
The RCSLT is hosting their biannual conference online again this year on the 1-2 November. The conference promises "two days of opportunities for learning, professional development, and networking". Colleagues at BSLTRU and Cardiff Metropolitan University (CMU) will be presenting their research at this event.
The conference is exceptionally good value, making it very accessible. We are planning on extending this inclusive event by hosting opportunities to gather 'in-person' at Southmead (Weds 1st Nov) and Cardiff Llandaff campus (Thurs 2nd Nov). BSLTRU/CMU will make several rooms available over the 2 days so that colleagues registered to attend the conference can gather to watch and discuss parallel sessions. We hope this will provide an enhanced networking opportunity and give colleagues the chance to critically engage with the conference content.
