** REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED **

The 22nd MHLA Annual Conference & AGM will take place on Friday 12 November 2021, online. Similar to last year’s format, there will be a short live segment, then the majority of the event is available to watch on-demand on Friday 12 November and over the following weekend.

The AGM takes place via Zoom at 09:30. This is the only live element, and will last approximately 30 minutes. It will not be recorded.

The Annual Conference presentations will be available to view from 10:00 on our website. In order to minimise any technical difficulties, our speakers will pre-record their presentations. Delegates will receive a link and password to enable them to view the conference presentations in the comfort of their own workplace or home, and at their own pace, from 10:00 Friday 12 November to 10:00 Monday 15 November. There will also be the opportunity to submit questions to speakers after the conference.
