Partners in Place

Three Virtual Sessions

SURF’s 2021 SURF Annual Conference will  be a series of three 90 minute sessions on Tuesday 24th, Wednesday 25th and Thursday 26th August. They will be conducted via the Zoom conferencing platform.

Numbers for these events are limited. I have included the programme for each event below, along with a link to Zoom to book a place on each event. I will note that you are not required to have a Zoom account to attend.

As places are limited I would kindly ask that if you book and can no longer attend that you let me know and I will reallocate your place.

Once booked you will receive a link to join the event. Please note that these are individual links, and can therefore not be shared with colleagues. They would have to book on separately.

If you have any queries or have issues with using/booking on Zoom please do not hesitate to get in touch with emma@surf-old.local
