You can find it in the Events tab and this link should take you there https://www.icon.org.uk/events/pest-odyssey-open-meeting.html <https://www.icon.org.uk/events/pest-odyssey-open-meeting.html> You will need to set up an account on the Icon website to book, you may have one if you are an Icon member. Please note that there are two options you can join virtually or you can join us in person at the Bodleian library in Oxford. If you would like to join us in person, please note that the booking deadline is shorter as we need to get numbers to catering at the Bodleian. It doesn't seem possible to ask you for your dietary requests, so I will be emailing to ask you your preferences as bookings close and I will need a very speedy response please. All the information about the day is on the website we have a morning of talks, looking at treatments, case studies and legislation, then a discussion in the afternoon. For in-person attendees, the afternoon has tours, a bug swap if you want some additions for your reference collection and we are hosting a surgery if you are looking for IPM advice. We do hope that you will be able to join us.
