Events

During your time at the FACE Conference 2022 we will explore the city and re-discover our voice as a united group of like-minded professionals.

The conference programme offers a blend of proffered papers, workshops, paper presentations, panel discussions and keynote speakers. In between sessions delegates will have the opportunity to network and engage with poster presenters over refreshments.

The social programme provides further opportunities to network with colleagues old and new and discuss the day's events.

To be inclusive and capture the diversity of the sector the FACE Conference 2022 will focus on key conference themes as well as topics which are related to the aims and mission of FACE and UoS.
