This section of the site provides information about presentations delivered at the SWO Annual Conference.  
Where speakers used presentations and where they have agreed for them to be made available, these are included below. Where speakers spoke without presentations, we have endeavoured to pick out their key points - this will shortly be available online.
The SWO Core Unit is currently in the process of compiling a downloadable write-up of the event. In due course, this will also be made available via this section of the website.
