Our Annual Conference

"Womb Twin Survivors"
 
October 1st-3rd 2010

(plus AGM Sunday Oct 3rd at 12 noon)

Venue: All Saints Pastoral Centre London Colney, Herts [web site]

This will be the third international conference to be held on this subject. It will be a rare opportunity for everyone to learn more about a common occurrence in pregnancy that has been largely ignored - until very recently. It will be a chance for womb twin survivors, plus the people who live with them, work with them, try to help them or just want to learn more about them, can get together and discuss these issues. Only 60 places are available, so early booking is recommended

  • Art display

What could you offer? It doesn't have to be a great presentation with slides etc, it can be just a group of people having a discussion.  You can decide on the day, but people are wondering what may happen, so that is why we have listed the ideas so far. 

When you have registered for the conference, we will contact you to find out what you would like to present, or if you would prefer to  listen and learn.
