**** A NOTE ON TIMEZONES ****
The SSBP has members around the globe, and so we have done our best to ensure that everyone will be able to attend a range of live sessions during their daytime. All talks will be pre-recorded and will be available on the website for 30 days after the conference.
We have given this schedule in a range of timezones.
If you need to convert the times, please be aware that British Summer Time will still be active in the UK in September.
Live events in Sessions 1 and 3 are broadly aimed at registrants from Australasia, Asia, Europe and Africa
Live events in Sessions 2 and 4 are broadly aimed at registrants from North and South America, Europe and Africa
