This online conference took place on Thursday 16 July 2020. Conference talks and Q&A were held between: 11:00 – 13:00 BST (UK Time). Optional workshops: 14:00 – 15:00 BST and 15:30 – 16:30 BST.
The conference was free of charge to attend, due to the financial support of our event sponsors: Accenture, EDF Energy, Sellafield Ltd and UK Atomic Energy Authority.
Over 400 delegates joined the livestream of the conference talks.
The engaged audience submitted a lot of questions during the event and there was insufficient time to answer them all. We have put together a Q&A page with responses provided by the speakers at a later time.
