OIVAC changes time zones (well not really!)
We had a couple of people asking about whether it was worth registering for www.oivac.com given that most of the seminars are US-based. The answer is undoubtedly YES!! This year they’ve also included some UK specific sessions, some of which are free.But if you are as useless as me at converting time zones, Sharon Williams very kindly gave us this UK timeline of what’s going on at OIVAC:
