The dates and venue for the BSGE Annual Scientific Meeting 2020  have changed. Next year’s meeting will take place from 22^nd-24^th April in the thriving northern powerhouse of Manchester. The conference will be held at Manchester Central, an award-winning venue in the heart of the vibrant city centre. Its historic architecture and state-of-the-art facilities provide the perfect venue for BSGE 2020.

Announcing the new dates, BSGE President Sanjay Vyas together with Dr Sujata Gupta, Chairman of LOC, said:

‘The change is because of the excellent feedback that we had following this year’s ASM at Celtic Manor. There was an overwhelming desire to have a formal conference centre venue, so we have moved the ASM to Manchester Central . This will ensure that we have sufficient space to run 3 parallel streams in the programme, a large purpose built exhibition area, and a choice of excellent hotels within a very short walk. The Local Organising Committee are working hard to produce a scientific and social programme that will both inform and entertain us!!’
